Church Whitfield: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Church Whitfield?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you trade at school fairs around Church Whitfield?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Tell us about your event, and we’ll reply with our availability and what we need.
What do you need at the pitch?
Let us know what the pitch has and we will confirm our needs.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.

Why choose live paella in Church Whitfield?
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free options. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- A clear, itemised quote
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

Step by step
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. For an evening event in Church Whitfield, sunset is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then pack down.
