Questions from Newbridge
We are having a ceremony at Church of St. Michael the Archangel: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cook near the sea around Newbridge?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
How much paella per person?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Is paella OK for kids?
Of course. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Tell us how many children are coming.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Is my garden big enough?
Often, yes, if there’s a level spot clear of fences and trees. Send us a picture of the space.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including the Isle of Wight. Find your area.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
