Newbury questions
Is Newbury too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Who clears up?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Should we have more than one paella?
Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.

What we need at the venue
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Level ground for the pans and burners
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
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.
Paella compared with other options
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
What you get with us
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
