Is Stonor close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Stonor?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Should we have more than one paella?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Is halal food available?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
Can you cook at our office?
Often, yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll check with your facilities team.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Do you do desserts?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.

The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. After-work summer parties in Stonor have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, 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.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Before we arrive
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Planning help
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Facilities approval and any site rules
