Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

A closer look at the menu

Paella lunches

Two or three paellas served from the pan, ideal for a lunch break.

Bowl food

Bowl food lets guests eat while they mingle.

Planning for every diet

We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Think about shade and seating
  • Have water and soft drinks available
  • Add a diet question to the sign-up form
  • Tell us how long the food break is

If timings change on the day, tell us and we’ll adapt.

Crockery and staff can be added.

Is live paella right for your work event?

Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella covers diets with separate pans. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

Why Beckley hosts choose us

  • Real theatre, not just catering
  • Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
  • No hidden extras in your quote
  • Sangria and bar staff available

12 questions to ask before booking

Beckley: your questions answered

Can you cook in Katie and George Park?

Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.

How far is Beckley from London?

Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.

How soon do we need to book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.

Do you do starters?

Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.

What happens if it rains?

We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.

How does payment work for businesses?

We will explain booking and payment when you enquire.

Where do you cater?

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.

Space, weather and the venue

Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:

  • Approval from your facilities team or building manager
  • The venue’s permission for live cooking
  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable

Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Popular choices

  • Vegan & vegetarian pans

The process

Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. For a Christmas party in Beckley, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. You get a menu, a price and documents.
  3. We agree access and set-up with facilities.
  4. We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
  5. We clear our area and leave it clean.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure we can park close by to unload
  • Let us know the timings for the day
  • Get the venue’s permission for cooking
