Wootton questions
Which station should guests use for Wootton?
The closest is Ryde Esplanade station, roughly 3.3 miles away.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
How much is live paella catering?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
What documents can you provide?
Ask facilities for their list and pass it on and we’ll respond.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Courtyards and terraces frequently work, if the building allows it.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it’s cooked separately.
What space do you need to cook?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.

For event organisers in Wootton
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Step by step
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. December events in Wootton are in the dark from about 4:00pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We check the date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
Ask for a quote
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can fill in our quote form.
Planning help
Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
For somewhere as remote as Wootton, early notice helps us plan the trip.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Larger events typically cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
