DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Give us diet totals and allergy details
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
We arrive at the agreed time and follow your site rules, including sign-in and parking.
Churros or Spanish desserts to finish.
FAQs for Longworth
How far is Longworth from London?
About 59 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Longworth too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Is the paella cooked on site?

Is halal food available?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Do you have a kids’ option?

Do you do desserts?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
Live paella or other catering?
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.
