Upper Denford: your questions answered
Is Upper Denford too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Upper Denford close to London?
About 60 miles from central London.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes. We are happy to talk to your venue about access, timings and requirements.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We will talk it through before the day.
Can you do sangria?
Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
How much is live paella catering?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
