Wivelrod: your questions answered
How far is Wivelrod from London?
About 48 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Wivelrod for guests?
The closest is Alton station, roughly 3 miles away.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Frequently, yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll confirm with facilities.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
How does payment work for businesses?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Planning the cooking area
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
