Broad Green: your questions answered

Can you cook in Waddon Ponds?

Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.

What about parking in Broad Green?

It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.

Do you cover Broad Green?

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Broad Green. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.

Can you bring crockery?

Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.

Do you provide drinks?

Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

Can you do gluten-free paella?

We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.

Do you cook it at the event?

Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.

Do you cater for suppliers?

Just add them to your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.

Space, weather and the venue

If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:

  • A safe distance from anything that could catch
  • An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
  • Confirmation that open cooking is allowed

Broad Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

DIY paella versus live catering

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.

Planning for every diet

Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:

  • Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
  • Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
  • Count day and evening guests separately
  • Send us the running order and speech times

On the day, we liaise with your coordinator or toastmaster, so you don’t have to.

Sangria and bar staff can be added.

Choosing a paella caterer

Step by step

Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. In Broad Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.

  1. We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
  2. Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
  3. Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
  5. Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.

Preparing for the day

  • Tell us where to park and unload
  • Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
  • Get the venue’s permission for cooking

Paella compared with other options

What wedding paella catering costs

Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:

  • How many courses
  • Your choice of paellas
  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff

Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Details that help

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:

  • Expected numbers
  • The date and rough timings
  • A photo of the space, if you can
  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
