Your questions about paella party catering in Peper Harow
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater afterwards?
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. Send us the reception address.
Could we have live paella in Elstead Group of Commons?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Do you cover Peper Harow?
We do. Peper Harow is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What space do you need to cook?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
How much is live paella catering?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a price.
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
