Common questions in Sullington
Is Sullington too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Sullington from London?
About 43 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
How many different paellas?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Will the neighbours notice?
Paella is cooked over gas, so there is cooking steam and smell but little smoke. The smell is generally the best advert for the party.
How early should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends, which fill up first. Check your date with us.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff

- Your choice of paellas
- Whether you need crockery
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
