Alvescot: your questions answered
How far is Alvescot from London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Alvescot?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

Let us know what’s required, and we’ll send what you need.
Do you come to Alvescot?

Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Travel, parking and access
- Starters, canapés and desserts

Planners, venues and businesses

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Give us diet totals and allergy details
Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls.
Canapés for drinks receptions.
Planning the cooking area
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
