Selling questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you come out to small places like Selling?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Do you cater for children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Include children in your numbers.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them. Crockery or disposables can be added.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.

- How many guests are eating
- Parking and unloading
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert

DIY paella versus live catering

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
