Statenborough questions
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St George: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far is Statenborough from London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
When should I book?
Early for summer weekends. Check your date with us.
How many paellas should we have?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Ask the venue about live cooking.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Yes. Children normally love a plain chicken paella. Tell us how many children are coming.

What happens on the day
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. A summer party in Statenborough stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, 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.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
