Sole Street: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Sole Street?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Sole Street for guests?
Sole Street has its own station: Sole Street station.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Space, weather and the venue
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area

How we price wedding paella catering
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many guests are eating
- Whether you need crockery
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- How long we’re needed on site
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many adults and children
