Common questions in Hindhead
Is Hindhead close to London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you cater in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is paella OK for kids?
Paella is popular with children, particularly a simple chicken pan. Let us know numbers and ages.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what you need and we’ll include it in the quote.
Will the neighbours notice?
Paella is cooked over gas, so there’s cooking steam and smell but little smoke. Neighbours may well want an invitation.
Who clears up?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
What does paella party catering cost?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a price.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
What affects the price in Hindhead
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How many staff you need
- Whether you need crockery
- Travel, parking and access
- How many guests are eating
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Where the event is
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The date and time of the event
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send a clear, itemised quote.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Planning the cooking area
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work. The main points are:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before you book.
