We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. In South Stoke, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- We check the date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Questions from South Stoke
Is South Stoke close to London?
About 45 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to South Stoke for guests?
Cholsey station, about 1.8 miles north-west of the centre.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
Do you do Christmas parties?
With the right covered space, yes. Hot paella in winter is popular.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.

Can you provide dessert?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella handles diets with separate pans. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
