Burchett's Green: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Saint John the Evangelist?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you come out to small places like Burchett's Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is usually popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you bring everything you need?
Pans, burners and ingredients all come with us. You provide a suitable spot and access.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.

Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Choose two or three paellas so every guest has a choice
- Plan seating for most guests: paella is easiest eaten sitting down
- Ask about diets and allergies on your invitation or RSVP
- Give us separate numbers for children
After service, we pack down our cooking area.
Sangria and bar staff can be added for your own drinks.
How we price paella catering

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
The menu, dish by dish
Mixed paella
Chicken and seafood together, and a popular all-rounder.
Paella Valenciana
In Valencia, the recipe is fiercely debated. The classic version is chicken, green beans and butter beans with saffron, and it is a crowd-pleaser.
