Questions from Ringwould
Can you cook near the sea around Ringwould?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come to Ringwould?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Ringwould is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Usually. We need a suitable spot and the venue’s agreement.
Is halal food available?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Is live paella right for your party?
Ordering in is easy but forgettable. Live paella gives guests a show. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
