How the day works
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. At midsummer, sunset in Brookside is about 9:25pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

Live paella or other catering?
If you are weighing up paella against a traditional menu, think about your venue, your guests’ diets and the feel of the day. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

FAQs for Brookside
What’s the nearest station to Brookside for guests?
The closest is Ascot station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
How far is Brookside from London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Do you come to Brookside?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Brookside. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
What if photos overrun?
It happens. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it’s served at its best.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
