Organising for someone else?
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
FAQs for Moorhouse Bank
Is parking a problem for events in Moorhouse Bank?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
We’re having a ceremony at St Andrew's: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Of course. We’ll speak to your venue about access and timings.
