Questions from Shilton
Is Shilton too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Shilton from London?
Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
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.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
That is one of paella’s strengths. Tell us how long the break is and we will plan service around it.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
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. See how much paella per person.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Space, weather and the venue
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
- The venue’s permission for live cooking

DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. 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.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Timings and hours
- How many guests are eating
- The paellas you choose
- Parking and unloading
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
What to tell us

- Which courses you have in mind
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
