Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you do desserts?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Live paella or other catering?
Crisps and nibbles fill a gap. Tapas make a proper course. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell normally draws people over. Evening receptions in Grahame Park stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
