Peel Common: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Peel Common?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cook near the sea around Peel Common?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
How much does wedding paella catering cost in Peel Common?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is typically popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What if photos overrun?
It happens. We time the rice to the actual running order, so it’s served at its best.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Peel Common.

Planning help
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
