Organising for someone else?

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Common questions in Pinkneys Green
How far is Pinkneys Green from London?
About 29 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St. James the Less?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
How early should we book?
The sooner the better, but it is always worth asking. We’ll check availability right away.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.

DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

The process
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s served at its best. A summer party in Pinkneys Green stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
How to prepare
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Give us a contact for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
