Live paella or other catering?
Most street food is cooked one order at a time. Paella is batch-cooked and served fast, so queues move quickly. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Common questions in Worton
Do you trade at school fairs around Worton?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
How far is Worton from London?
About 57 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come to Worton?
We do. Worton is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
Yes, timed to your schedule. Tell us numbers and timings.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send your requirements and we’ll include them with our application.
For event organisers in Worton
Venues often 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 will work to it.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
