FAQs for Felderland
What’s the nearest station to Felderland for guests?
The closest is Sandwich station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
What about pudding?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
How much paella per person?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.

Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Give separate numbers for children
- Plan seats for most guests
- Have bins ready
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
The cooking area stays tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.
Churros with chocolate are a hit with children and adults.
DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
What we need at the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Step by step
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. A summer party in Felderland stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
