Questions from Haydon Hill
Is Haydon Hill close to London?
About 39 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station should guests use for Haydon Hill?
The closest is Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Haydon Hill.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Frequently, yes. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
What’s in the pans
Churros
Fried, sugared and dipped in chocolate.
Seafood paella
Seafood paella usually gets the photos, and is best served with lemon.
DIY paella versus live catering
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.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. 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.
How it works
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. Sunset in Haydon Hill is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- Guests gather round as it cooks, nibbling tapas if you’ve booked them.
- It’s served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
