Common questions in Ludgershall
Is Ludgershall close to London?
About 47 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Ludgershall too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
What paperwork do you have?
Ask facilities for their list and pass it on and we will respond.
Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
What we offer
- Drinks service
- Canapé tapas
- Paella lunches
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
- Bowl food
- Desserts
What’s in the pans
Canapé tapas
One-bite tapas served by staff during receptions.
Vegan and vegetarian pans
A real main for vegetarians and vegans, in its own pan.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs a lot of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before booking.
Why us?
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Real theatre, not just catering

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
