Is Teasley Mead too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.

Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
- Share the timings for food
Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception, so guests can network while they eat.
Churros or Spanish desserts to finish.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The length of service
- The number of people
- Parking and unloading
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or venue name
- Which courses you have in mind
- The date and time of the event
- Approximate guest numbers, including children

Can I cook paella for a crowd 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 be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
