Fulmer questions
Is Fulmer too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Fulmer close to London?
About 20 miles from central London.
Do you cater for children?
Most children enjoy paella, particularly a simple chicken pan. Tell us how many and their ages.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Often, yes. We need a suitable spot and the venue’s agreement.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan for them.
Paella party catering for your party in Fulmer
You get to enjoy your own party: no shopping, prep or cooking. The food is our job. Whether it is big family gatherings and neighbourhood celebrations, we can cook chicken and chorizo paella, seafood paella and mixed paella for your guests.
Country parties near Fulmer suit live paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
