Ryeish Green questions
Do you come out to small places like Ryeish Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Is Ryeish Green close to London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What if the timings change?
We adapt. We keep in touch with your venue on the day and time the rice so it is served at its best.
Is paella smart enough for a wedding?
Served well, it feels generous and special: canapés, tapas, crockery and table service.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Do you work with our venue?
Yes, it makes life easier. Introduce us and we will sort the details.
Live paella or other catering?
Choosing between paella and a traditional menu?, think about your venue, your guests’ diets and the feel of the day. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
What you get with us
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Live cooking, not reheated food

Should I cook it myself?
