How to compare caterers

Planning for every diet

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:

  • Check diets in advance
  • Let us know if tapas are a starter or the main event
  • Ask for labels on each dish
  • Plan more dishes if tapas are the meal

Afterwards, we clear away.

Roxeth: your questions answered

Could we have live paella in Northwick Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.

Can you cater a reception after a service at Christ Church?

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.

When should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.

Do we need staff for canapés?

Staff make canapés work, and we can provide them.

Can you cook in the rain?

Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.

Do you cater for young children?

Of course. A simple chicken paella is typically popular with children. Include children in your numbers.

Can you serve drinks?

Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.

Is tapas catering available separately?

Yes. Tapas and canapés can be booked on their own.

Working with your venue

If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
