Questions from Gossops Green
What’s the nearest station to Gossops Green for guests?
Gossops Green has its own station: Ifield station.
We’re having a ceremony at St Peter's: can you cater afterwards?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Is paella OK for kids?
Yes. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Tell us how many children are coming.
Does it make a lot of smoke?
Paella is cooked over gas, so there’s cooking steam and smell but little smoke. Neighbours may well want an invitation.
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.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
Can you supply crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what you need and we will include it in the quote.

- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
