Common questions in Limpsfield
Which station should guests use for Limpsfield?
The closest is Oxted station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Limpsfield?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Should we have more than one paella?
Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Do you come to Limpsfield?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Limpsfield and across Surrey. Send us your date to check availability.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
- Plan seats for most guests
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
After service, we pack down, so the party carries on.
Churros with chocolate are a hit with children and adults.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
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.

Live paella or other catering?
Hog roasts do not suit vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Step by step
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. A summer party in Limpsfield stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your date, address and numbers.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- We set up before guests arrive.
- Guests watch the paella cook.
- We serve, then clear our area.
Preparing for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
Ask for a quote
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
