Your questions about wedding paella catering in East Horsley
Can you cook at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to East Horsley for guests?
Horsley station, in East Horsley itself.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.
Should we have more than one paella?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Will you talk to our venue?
Yes. We are happy to talk to your venue about access, timings and requirements.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Planning the cooking area
We will be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
