FAQs for Pyrton
Do you trade at school fairs around Pyrton?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you cover Pyrton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Pyrton is within our area and the rest of Oxfordshire. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Who clears up?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
How long do you need on site?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Will there be long queues?
It is one of the quickest hot foods to serve, which suits busy periods.
Organising for someone else?
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Organising a club, school or community event in Pyrton? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
A closer look at the menu
Giant paella pans
The huge pan is the star.
Seafood paella
Seafood paella is always popular.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

How the day works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. Evening events in Pyrton have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
