Steventon: your questions answered
Is Steventon close to London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Steventon?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
What documents can you provide?
Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we will send what you need.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.

Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
How many paellas should we have?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll make a plan B with you.

Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
We arrive on time and follow your site rules.
Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.
Before you choose a spot
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Steventon
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How many courses
- Waiting and bar staff
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Timings and hours
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Expected numbers
- The venue or postcode
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Dishes our guests love
Canapé tapas
Bite-sized tapas carried round by staff during receptions.
Vegan and vegetarian pans
A proper vegetarian or vegan main, in its own pan.
Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

How the day works
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. After-work summer parties in Steventon have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
