FAQs for Sandhurst

Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Is Sandhurst close to London?
About 32 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We will talk it through before the day.

That depends on their role in the meal. We will suggest quantities for your event.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.

What else we do in Sandhurst
DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Who books tapas catering in Sandhurst?

Working with your venue

For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
How we price tapas catering
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Your choice of paellas
- Whether you need crockery
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- How many staff you need
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Which courses you have in mind
- What the venue already provides
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- A picture of where we’d cook
