Slade Green: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Slade Green for guests?
Slade Green has its own station: Slade Green station.
Could we have live paella in Braeburn Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it is cooked separately.
Can you supply crockery?
On request. Crockery or disposables can be added.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
