Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.

Common questions in Hermitage
What’s the nearest station to Hermitage for guests?
The closest is Newbury Racecourse station, roughly 4 miles away.
Is Hermitage too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
Can the team help cook?
Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Talk to us about what you have in mind.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.

Why choose live paella in Hermitage?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs a lot of separate vegetarian food. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Why Hermitage hosts choose us
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
