Riseley: your questions answered

Is Riseley close to London?

About 39 miles from central London, and well within our area.

Could we have live paella in Wellington Country Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.

Do you work in winter?

Yes, if there is a covered, ventilated spot. Book early for December.

How soon do we need to book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

Do you do starters?

Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.

How do you work out quantities?

We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.

Can you serve drinks?

Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before you book.

  4. We cook live and serve on schedule.

Planning help

Diets, allergies and planning

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

  • Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
  • Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
  • Find out what paperwork the venue needs
  • Provide shade and seats outdoors

We serve at the agreed time, whether that is a lunch break or an evening party.

Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff available.

Where we can cook in Riseley

We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
  • Level ground for the pans and burners
  • Access for unloading near the cooking spot

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before you book.

For event organisers in Riseley

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

What affects the price in Riseley

Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:

  • Distance and access to the venue
  • How long we’re needed on site
  • How many courses
  • Waiting and bar staff

Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Getting an accurate quote

  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
  • The date and time of the event
