Questions from Aldworth
Is Aldworth too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cook at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Can you cater a winter event?
Yes, if there is a covered, ventilated spot. December dates go fast.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Ask facilities for their list and pass it on and we’ll respond.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A picture of where we’d cook
- The date and rough timings
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- What the venue already provides
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Get facilities approval early
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Share the timings for food
- Give us diet totals and allergy details
We keep the cooking area tidy and contained.
Canapés for drinks receptions.

Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
