Fulbrook questions
Do you come out to small places like Fulbrook?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Is Fulbrook close to London?
About 69 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Ask the venue about live cooking.
Can you serve drinks?
Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
