Common questions in West Twyford
Which station should guests use for West Twyford?
Stonebridge Park station, about 0.8 miles north of the centre.
Can you cook in St. Raphael's Edible Garden?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
How much is live paella catering?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a price.
How many paellas should we have?
Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Will there be long queues?
It is one of the quickest hot foods to serve, which suits busy periods.
Dishes our guests love
Chicken & chorizo paella
A hearty, smoky pan, popular with families.

Is live paella right for your event?

Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Whether you need crockery
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- How many guests are eating
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Anything your venue supplies
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- A picture of the space, if you can
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. At midsummer, events in West Twyford stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Tell us where to park and unload
How to get a price
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
