FAQs for Cudworth
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Could we have live paella in Newdigate Brickworks?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We will talk it through before the day.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including Surrey. Find your area.

How we price tapas catering
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Guest numbers
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- How long we are needed on site
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- Anything your venue supplies
- Expected numbers

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
