FAQs for Moorhouse Bank

What about parking in Moorhouse Bank?

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.

The closest is Hurst Green station, roughly 2.2 miles away.

Do you cook at halls and clubs?

Generally. We need a suitable spot and the venue’s agreement.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.

What areas do you cover?

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Moorhouse Bank.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

Can you set up in a small garden?

Many gardens work. We need level ground, clearance and access. A picture helps.

How it works

It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. Sunset in Moorhouse Bank is about 8:50pm 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. First, we check the date and the space.
  2. You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
  3. The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
  4. In goes the rice, and guests gather.
  5. It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.

Getting ready for the day

  • Name one person we can ask on the day
  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Arrange a covered spot for wet weather

Organising for someone else?

Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

What affects the price in Moorhouse Bank

Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

  • How many staff you need
  • The length of service
  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
  • Parking and unloading

Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Getting an accurate quote

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:

  • A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
  • Where the event is
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers

It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will come back with a clear quote.

Dishes our guests love

Seafood paella

A seafood pan with prawns and mussels, for the fish lovers.

Chicken & chorizo paella

Smoky, satisfying and popular with children, and a good choice for guests who do not eat seafood.

Before you choose a spot

We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:

  • Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
  • Send a picture of the garden so we can check
  • Parking close enough to carry equipment

As a London location, Moorhouse Bank is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
