Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Milton Heights: your questions answered
Do you cater in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is Milton Heights too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Do you work in winter?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. Hot paella in winter is popular.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
How does payment work for businesses?
We will explain booking and payment when you enquire.
Do you cater at business parks?
Often, yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll check with your facilities team.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss.

- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls, so guests can network while they eat.
Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Live paella or other catering?
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
