Your questions about paella party catering in Red Post Bridge
Is Red Post Bridge close to London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.
How far in advance should we book?
The sooner the better, but it is always worth asking. Send your date and we will check.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
There is a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue. Let the neighbours know.
Do you do desserts?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Tell us what you need and we will include it in the quote.

Should I cook it myself?
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.
