Questions from East Shefford
Do you cater in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like East Shefford?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Ask facilities for their list and pass it on and we’ll respond.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including West Berkshire. See all areas.
Can you invoice the company?
Let us know your company’s process, and we will talk you through it.
Can the team help cook?
Mention it in your enquiry, and we’ll discuss what’s possible at your venue.
What affects the price in East Shefford
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How many staff you need
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- The paellas you choose
- Guest numbers
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many adults and children
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: give us the basics about your work event, and we will suggest a menu. To start, use our quote form.
A closer look at the menu
Bowl food
Bowls of paella, easy to eat standing.
Vegan and vegetarian pans
A real main for vegetarians and vegans, not an afterthought.
DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
How the day works
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell usually draws people over. December events in East Shefford are in the dark from about 4:00pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
