Hi and welcome to our review of The Keeper And The Dell Wedding Venue Norfolk.
The Keeper And The Dell Wedding Venue Norfolk
The Keeper and the Dell Norfolk
Your Paella catered for a wedding for 100 guests at The Keeper And The Dell in September 2017. We found this event location to be of a high standard. Everything was clean and tidy even down to the gravel. The staff rake the gravel to give it a very clean and crisp look.
We had no problem with finding the venue even though it’s off the beaten track. In fact that really adds to the events charm.

The facility’s are basic but that also adds to the overall charm. It has a really nice rustic feel that works perfectly if your looking to get married with a rustic country vibe.
As caterers we had no problem getting our equipment in to the area that was given to us and was offered refreshments which was very kind of the hosts. They also made sure we had everything we needed to perform our task and that made this event flow with no problems at all. We would be delighted to cater at this venue again!

The whole site allows itself for all kinds of party’s with an on site marquee all ready with tables and chairs, even a relaxing area under cover to the left of the marquee under another large wooden building.
On the edge of the main area there’s a row of barn type buildings that had a small bar area, seating area and also a coffee and tea making section.
We found the staff to be efficient and friendly.
We would recommend The Keeper And The Dell for any wedding or party!

Street food style catering has become very fashionable for weddings, garden party’s and events. Although some street style caterers are better than others!
So what should you be looking out for when trying to hire the catering services of a street style caterer?
The first question that needs to be answered is, “Is this a real business that has been registered with their local council and has that council given them a food health and hygiene rating?”
Its very easy to find out if that has been done, just contact the local council of the caterer and ask them or you could even ask the caterer as they will have a star rating with paperwork to show you. The star rating goes from 0 to 5. 5 is very good and 0 is bad! Here at Your Paellawe hold a 5 star rating.
Your Paella’s Food Hygiene Rating
So what else should we need to know before we agree to hire a street style caterer?
You should find out if the street style catering trader has public liability insurance. This is very important for a few reasons. Firstly any business that doesn’t have public liability insurance I would find very suspect. Its good business practice to hold good insurance. Another reason to check the public liability insurance is for peace of mind should something go wrong, not only for you but for the business owner too.
The famous Paella Cart.
Now you have established the street style caterer has a food hygiene rating and insurance you should ask to see some of their past clients reviews.
Don’t just take the street style caterers word that their food is the best in the world, ask if they can provide you with past clients for a review. At Your Paellawe ask our past clients to write an independent review on the www.yell.com website and always encourage potential clients to go to Yell.com and search “Your Paella” “Northants” If a street food style caterer has a good reputation they will be happy to share this with you, if not well I’m sure you can see that they may try and avoid the subject.
Now you should be better prepared to hire a street food style caterer for your special day. We at Your Paellahope you have a very successful event we are happy to give you any other information or even a free no obligation quote to serve delicious Paella’s for you and your guests.

Gary the Paella Chef is the proud owner and operator of his business called Your Paella
Formed in 2011 Gary and his team of Paella chef’s cover the whole of the UK providing a first class Paella catering service for any size party or corporate event. We asked Gary about some of the experience’s and useful information he can give when it comes to booking a Paella for an event.
The first question we asked was, “What is the main thing people get wrong when they book a catering service?”
“In my experience the one thing that people seem to get wrong is the amount of food they order and not just from us. Many times we have turned up at a party and the host have booked us for say 100 guests but have also booked a Hog Roast to be served at the same time. Now that’s fine if you have 200 guests to feed but when there are 100 guests it leads to a lot of waste.
The best way to book both a Paella caterer and Hog Roast would be to have lets say the Paella for the main meal and then some time later that evening the Hog Roast. That way you won’t have the waste and your guests will be able to have food during the day and the evening too.”
We then asked, “what’s other types of problems have you come across that clients have had while running your business?”
“We do get a few people trying to book us last minute due to the fact that the catering company that they first booked has let them down.
Its always a good idea to get as much information about the catering company you intend to hire before you go ahead and book them.
To help our prospective clients to make a well informed decision when thinking of booking Your Paellawe encourage them to read the reviews that past clients have left. We have an account with the yellow pages website www.yell.com and its very easy for perspective clients to read all about us. It really helps them to make a well informed decision.”
We then asked “What are the main type of events or party’s that you have catered for?”
“We get a lot of weddings, sometimes we provide the main meal with Tapas starters or canapés and desserts, that type of thing or we are booked for the evening meal. Paella is great in both cases.
We have catered for many birthday party’s, christenings, university balls, school sports days and of course corporate events from Audi to Amazon to name a couple. That’s one aspect of the job that I really enjoy, we are always in a different place meeting different people, it really is a fun job.”
Your Paella corporate catering.
“Do you cater at public events and shows?”
“When I first stated Your Paellawe attended as many shows and public events as we could. It was the perfect way to promote our outside catering service and make some money at the same time. These days we are so busy with private events that we only attend 2 public events at the moment, the Crick Boat show and the Sandringham flower show. I even got to meet HRH Prince Charles this year at Sandringham, it was great.”
HRH The Prince of Wales meeting Gary the owner of Your Paella
“What other important things should someone look for when booking any outside caterer?”
“That’s a really good question. There are a few important things that you need to know before you book any catering service. The first thing to ask would be does the catering company have public liability’s insurance? This is really important should anything go wrong. The second thing to find out is whether or not the catering company in question is registered with their local councils Food Hygiene Inspector and what star rating do they currently hold. We have a 5 star food and hygiene rating. That’s the best you can get. Id also ask what if any reviews they have from past clients. Make sure that the reviews are genuine and open to anyone who would like to leave a review. I would also ask what time will they arrive to set up. We aim to arrive 4 hours before the serving time, this gives us a good time window if we encounter any problems with traffic on the way.”
Your Paella’s Food Hygiene Rating
“So if someone has an interest in booking Your Paella, what should they do?”
“We are happy to provide a free no obligation quote. Just go to our website www.yourpaella.co.ukto check us out and if you’re interested you can fill out the simple contact form or call us on any of the phone numbers on the website. We are happy to answer any questions you may have.
So you’re thinking of holding a garden party. Now that’s a great idea! But how can I be so sure that having a garden party is such a good idea? Well simply because I cook delicious Paella at garden parties all over the UK and can tell you with a lot of confidence that if you are going to host a garden party and you get it right its a lot of fun for you and your guests.
Paella house party
While talking to the hosts of many of the garden party’s we have catered for, the main reason they say they have booked us is because in the past when they have hosted a garden party at home and have been so busy cooking and giving out the food that they have had very little time in fact to enjoy the company of there friends and family.
Even when you have a small garden, it’s not a problem for Your Paellato come along and cook some delicious Paella. This is a fantastic cost affective way to give your guests something a bit special and very different!
At this garden party the hosts were happy for us to set up outside in their front garden, it was perfect as we only need a 3 metre x 3 metre area to cook and serve from.
As you can see from the image, serving 50 people is no problem for Your Paella. In fact it is a major part of our business.
We can cater for any size party or event. The largest event that we were employed to cater for was in central London for 1000 portions! Of course we needed more than just one large Paella pan for that.
For the bigger events or private party’s we take our famous Paella Cart. This really gives it the wow factor!
Your Paella, Paella Cart.
Whatever the size garden party or event, one thing will always remain the same. The great taste of Your Paella!
Don’t just take our word for it, check out our latest client reviews online here.
And you know when you have done a good job because the hosts offer you a nice cold beer when you have finished! CHEERS EVERYONE!

If your thinking of having a Paella Party, your in the right place! Paella at a party is a great choice and here are some of the questions that Your Paellahave been asked when perspective clients have called for more information.
One of the first things to be asked is “How much is it to hire Your Paella for a party?” This question has a lot of variables. What Your Paellahave done is to work out a general cost based on 100 portions of delicious Your Paella. This has made it a lot easier and clearer for our normal clients, who in most cases are looking to hire a Paella catering company to cook for 100+ guests. So if your in our price band area number 1. Then the cost is £600.00 or just £7.50 per head. (You can find your price band here)
www.yourpaella.co.uk
The next question asked is “What types of Paella will you supply at the £8.50 per head price?” This will depend on a couple of things. Lets first say that the client would like 100 portions of Your Paella, we can cook one Paella pan full of 50 portions of a “Mixed Paella” & 50 portions in the other Paella pan of a “Meat Paella” or a “Vegetable Paella” . We can also cook both Paella pans (50 portions in each) with the same Paella, ie. all “Mixed Paella.” The choice is the clients, but the good news is, the price will stay the same.
Below is an image of the Your PaellaPaella cart. This comes to your Paella Party and the 2 large Paella pans are on top, ready to cook Your Paella!
Your Paella’s famous Paella Cart. Perfect for any party!
Another question we are asked is, “Will you bring the Paella cart (above) and everything needed to cook Your Paella?” The answer is “Yes” As you see the Paella cart above is how you will have Your Paellacooked at your Paella Party. Its all part of the £8.50 per head price. Based on our example above of 100 portions booked in price band 1. If we are serving at night we will need access to an electrical point to plug in our lights. Other than that we have everything we need.
A common question we are asked is ” I want to hold a Paella Party for 20 or 25 guests. Can you still come and cook Your Paellafor me?” Again the answer is “Yes” although if we are to bring the Paella cart and everything that comes with it (below) it will cost more than £8.50 per head. This is due to the fact that its the same amount of work to bring the Paella cart and set up to cook 100 portions as it is to cook 20 or 25 portions etc. Lets say we only need to cook 20 portions of Your Paella. Again we can cook the Paella of the clients choice, but we don’t need to bring so much stuff to achieve this. All we would need in this case is a Paella pan with its burner, the gas bottle and the ingredients. We can then cook Your Paellain your kitchen, or another suitable place. This will keep the cost down. If our client wants the Paella cart and is happy to pay for it then that’s fine and we will bring it.
Your Paella corporate catering.
Another common question we are asked is “I want 100 portions of Your Paella, a “Mixed Paella” but I have a few Vegetarians coming to my Paella Party. What can we provide for them?” What we recommend is “Potatas Bravas” or in English “Spicy Potato” Now you may have tried this before, but we make this to our own recipe and make the source from scratch. Its a real winner with the vegetarians and we can provide this on the side for a minimum of 10 portions, again at just £8.50 per portion!
Spanish style canapes
Of course we can provide a “Bespoke” service if needed, but its always best to contact us to discuss individual requirements. We are more than happy to help you have the best Paella Party Ever!

Have you ever been to a party where the caterers are cooking on a big Paella pan? Its a very impressive sight. Its even more impressive when 2 or more big Paella pans are being cooked on at the same time! That’s exactly what Your Paella, the Paella catering specialists do.
From the site of the BIG Paella pans, to the beautiful aromas that are created whilst the delicious Paella’s are being cooked. Paella really is THE hot food choice for any social gathering. From weddings to public shows and events, birthday parties and corporate events.
Cooking on big Paella pan’s isn’t easy and its not really a good idea to try and cook in a big Paella pan until you have mastered the art of cooking Paella in a much smaller pan a few times first. If your a lover of food like I am, then I really would suggest that you buy a small Paella pan and have a go at cooking your own Paella.
You may want to check out our online shop www.yourpaella.co.uk and see if we have received our stock of Paella pans, legs and burners yet. If not just bookmark the page and check back later. You could also “Like” our Facebook page www.facebook.com/yourpaella then you will receive all our latest updates and any special offers we have.
So how hard is it to cook your first Paella? If your used to preparing food and cooking, then not hard at all I would say. Its all about having the right Paella pan and really good ingredients.
Paella mix and Lemon
When Your Paellacook Paella, we use, extra virgin olive oil, onions, tomato, Chicken, Spanish Chorizo sausage, mixed shellfish, red pepper, garlic, stock, Paella rice and Your Paella’s seasoning. We don’t add the shells when we cook Paella so the guests don’t get covered in it while trying to de-shell the prawns etc.

Wedding catering doesn’t have to be such a formal affair these days. As a wedding caterer we can offer a less formal dinner or evening meal that offers so much more than a cold buffet.
Your Paella are experts at cooking delicious Paella for your wedding. Visit our main website, www.yourpaella.co.uk
Wedding Paella catering
Wedding Paella is becoming very fashionable with the Bride and Groom that what something different and that will fulfil all their needs. Tasty, entertaining, convenient and cost effective. Your Paellahave been the wedding caterer at many weddings. From the main sit down dinner to the evening meal, Paella is the perfect choice.
These days weddings come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and can be more exciting than ever.
Now that the wedding ceremony can be held anywhere at anytime, (A religious ceremony can be held anywhere as long as you find an approved celebrant. A civil marriage can take place in a registrar’s office or any other approved location in the registration district.) makes for some very surprising events and this all adds up to having fun, fun, fun.
So if your looking to find a wedding caterer that can offer you that something different, then contact us and we will be happy to discuss your requirements.

A Paella caterer that will bring everything needed to the location that you are holding your party and cook in front of the guests. That’s what service you will receive when you book Your Paella for your next party or special event.
Paella catering is becoming very popular in the UK, but not all Paella caterers are the same! for example, you can go to one mechanic and get a poorer and more expensive service, when another mechanic can give you a much better service at a cheaper cost to you. The same can be said for a Paella caterer.
Paella house party
Another example of this is Chinese food. In China the food is totally different to the Chinese food we can buy from our local take-away. In many cases Spanish Paella can have the same affect. I have tried many types of Paella while I lived in Spain and I found some of them to taste awful. I have also found the same thing here in the UK! Some Paella caterer’s here in the UK have never even been to Spain and it really shows when you taste the food they are trying to pass over as Paella.
Your Paellacook Paella to a British taste. Its still an authentic Spanish Paella but it has a delicious taste that most enjoy. We have spent a long time trying different recipes and having them taste tested. We know our recipe is right due to the very positive response we get when ever we cook and serve Your Paella.
So how can you be sure the Paella caterer is the one to choose? Well a good place to start is with the Food Standards Agency. You can find their website here:- http://www.food.gov.uk/ Make sure that ANY caterer is registered with their local Food Standards Agency. Also check what food hygiene rating they have. The rating is from 1 to 5, 1 is the worst (other than not having a rating at all) and 5 is the best.
Your Paella’s Food Hygiene Rating
Once you have checked the hygiene rating, then look for customer comments and reviews. A good place to find reviews are websites like Facebook and Yell.com.
Now you can be sure of a first class Paella caterer that provides a first class service.
