Should I cook it myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Climping questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How far is Climping from London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London.
Do you cater in Climping?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Climping. For a quote, use our quote form.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
What if the timings change?
We plan for it. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it’s served at its best.
Do you cook inside?
Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.

Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.
