Dishes our guests love
Tapas
Patatas bravas, tortilla, croquetas and olives to start.
Seafood paella
Prawns, mussels and squid in a rich stock, for the fish lovers.
DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Space, weather and the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- A safe distance from anything that could catch

FAQs for Pell Green

Gas cooking means steam and a good smell, not much smoke. The smell is generally the best advert for the party.

Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan for them.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including East Sussex. See all areas.
Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Make sure most people can sit to eat

- Give the neighbours a heads-up
We keep the cooking area tidy and safe, with space kept clear around the burners.
Tapas to start keep hunger at bay.
