Paella compared with other options
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot meal keeps crew happy. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

Common questions in Tyringham
How far is Tyringham from London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London.
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Tyringham?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
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 cater for young children?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan for them.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.

How do you work out quantities?

Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
