Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. In Hascombe, 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 is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.

Questions from Hascombe
What’s the nearest station to Hascombe for guests?
Milford (Surrey) station, about 3 miles west of the centre.
Can you cook at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?

Do you cater in Hascombe?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Hascombe and the rest of Surrey. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan for them.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

- The venue or postcode
- Your date and when you want to eat
- A picture of where we’d cook
Send us the date, your venue or GU8 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you can enjoy yourselves.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
Space, weather and the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.
