Vanbrugh Park Estate: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at St John the Evangelist's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Can you cook in East Greenwich Pleasaunce?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you cover Vanbrugh Park Estate?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Vanbrugh Park Estate is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Let us know and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Planners, venues and businesses
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Other catering in Vanbrugh Park Estate
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
