An away day near Ware is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.

Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies

FAQs for Ware
Do you come out to small places like Ware?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Ware from London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan for them.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.

Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can you cater a winter event?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
