Rush Green: your questions answered
Is Rush Green too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
How far is Rush Green from London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How many different paellas?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Are your tapas vegetarian-friendly?
Plenty are vegetarian, like tortilla and padrón peppers. We label each dish.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
