How to compare caterers

For planners, venues and organisers

For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.

Organising a club, school or community event in Moulsecoomb? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.

Should I cook it myself?

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Moulsecoomb: your questions answered

Is Moulsecoomb close to London?

Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Can you cook near the sea around Moulsecoomb?

Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.

How soon do we need to book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.

Can you cater for children?

Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan for them.

Do you come to Moulsecoomb?

We do. Moulsecoomb is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

How do you work out quantities?

Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.

Can you cater at a hired venue?

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

Do you take everything away?

We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
