Marsh Green: your questions answered

Do you come out to small places like Marsh Green?

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

Can you cater a reception after a service at St. Mary's Church?

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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.

What happens if it rains?

A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll make a plan B with you.

Do you cook it at the event?

Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.

Do you cover Marsh Green?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Marsh Green is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.

Can you serve drinks?

Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.

How long does the paella take?

That depends on your menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.

Do you do desserts?

Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

How it works

Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it is served at its best. Sunset in Marsh Green is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.

  1. Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
  2. We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
  3. We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
  4. The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
  5. We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we’re done.

Before we arrive

  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Ensure we can park close by to unload

Paella compared with other options

DIY catering saves money but costs you time. Book us and you’re free to enjoy it. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

What you get with us

  • Fast service from the pan
  • Starters and desserts to complete the menu
  • Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
  • Waiting staff and crockery on request
