Questions to ask before booking
- VAT, if it applies
- How many staff are coming, and for how long
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- Space, access and power needs
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.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Didcot questions
How far is Didcot from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cook at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
It is ideal for that. Tell us how long the break is and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Where we can cook in Didcot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
