Common questions in Farley Hill
Is Farley Hill close to London?
About 36 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Farley Hill?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you cater for young children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Is live paella right for your party?
Home-made buffets take ages and sit out for hours. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

What else we do in Farley Hill
Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Give separate numbers for children
- Ensure most people can sit to eat
- Plan where rubbish goes
The cooking area stays tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.
A jug of sangria sets the tone, with an alcohol-free version for drivers and children.
How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. A summer party in Farley Hill stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us your date, address and numbers.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- We arrive before your guests and set up.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat.
- We serve from the pan and pack down.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Planning the cooking area
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

- Paella Valenciana
- Tapas
- Churros
- Seafood paella
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Mixed paella

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
