FAQs for Epwell
Is Epwell 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 ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.

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.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. See all areas.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
Can you serve drinks?
Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
For catering that is part of the event, live paella is a strong choice. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.

Planning the cooking area
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:

DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
