FAQs for Amen Corner
Is Amen Corner close to London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mark: can you cater afterwards?
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 cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Do you supply canapé staff?
Staff make canapés work, and we can provide them.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Do you cook tapas on site?
Hot tapas are finished on site and served straight away; cold ones go out as guests arrive.
Before you choose a spot
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- A spot for our serving station
- Space on each table
- Unloading access
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before you book.

What happens on the day
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. At midsummer, it is light in Amen Corner until about 9:25pm, perfect for canapés outdoors. In late September, sunset is about 7:05pm; winter receptions, dark by 3:55pm, are better indoors.

- We suggest a selection and confirm a quote.

- Canapés circulate with drinks, or tapas go to the tables.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
