How it works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. In Ludgershall, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

Ludgershall: your questions answered
How far is Ludgershall from London?
Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you work in winter?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
Do you cater at business parks?
Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, if the building allows it.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
How much is live paella catering?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Space, weather and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
