Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:

- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Have water and soft drinks available
We keep the cooking area tidy and contained.
Canapés for drinks receptions.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
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.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
If you want catering that becomes part of the event, live paella is a strong choice. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Why Axmansford hosts choose us
- Real theatre, not just catering

What affects the price in Axmansford
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The number of people
- Your choice of paellas
- How many courses
- How many staff you need
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Axmansford: your questions answered
Is Axmansford too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
How far is Axmansford from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Do you cater at business parks?
Courtyards and terraces often work, if the building allows it.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
Yes. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Can you cater a winter event?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. For a Christmas party in Axmansford, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
