Bulphan: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station should guests use for Bulphan?
West Horndon station, about 1.7 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
How many paellas should we have?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Do you have vegetarian tapas?
Yes. Tortilla, patatas bravas, padrón peppers and Manchego are vegetarian classics.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Dishes our guests love
Manchego & membrillo
Easy and classic.
Croquetas
Crisp outside, creamy inside.
Space, weather and the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- An area to prepare hot tapas
- Table space for sharing dishes at seated meals
- Venue approval for outside catering
Bulphan is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
