Other catering in Ansty
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you’re ready to eat. After-work summer parties in Ansty have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
How to prepare
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot

Ansty questions
Is Ansty too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Ansty from London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Ansty.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
