FAQs for Westcott
Do you come out to small places like Westcott?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Which station should guests use for Westcott?
The closest is Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, roughly 4.2 miles away.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you come to Westcott?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Westcott and the rest of Buckinghamshire. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Space, weather and the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A pitch away from tents and structures
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Room for our cooking and serving area
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
What affects the price in Westcott
We will give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:
- The length of service
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Distance and access to the venue
- Guest numbers
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.
What to tell us

- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
