Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Berrick Salome questions
Do you come out to small places like Berrick Salome?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Berrick Salome from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
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 suggest a split based on your guests.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Paella compared with other options
Sandwich buffets are forgettable. Tapas feel like a treat. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.
