Questions from Sundridge
Which station should guests use for Sundridge?
Dunton Green station, about 2.4 miles north-east of the centre.
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
When should I book?
As early as you can for summer weekends, which fill up first. Check your date with us.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Have bins ready
- Plan seats for most guests
- Tell us how many children are coming
We’re set up before guests arrive.

How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. A summer party in Sundridge stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, 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.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
How to prepare
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Tell us when you want to eat
