Common questions in Padworth
Is Padworth 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.
Is Padworth close to London?
About 44 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What space do you need to cook?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

How the day works
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. In Padworth, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
How to prepare
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans

Sandwiches are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

How we price corporate paella catering
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:

- Waiting and bar staff
- Your choice of paellas
- Timings and hours
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Expected numbers
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Anything your venue supplies
- Where the event is
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can use our quote form.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
