Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask for labels on each pan
- Let us know about other food at the event
- Ask about diets and allergies on your invitation or RSVP
- Have seats for most of your guests
Let the paella rest for a few minutes before serving, and that’s when we invite guests up.
Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana finish the meal, or serve your own cake.
About our paella catering in Burcott
You can keep it simple or build a full menu: just paella, or paella with tapas, desserts and drinks. We’ll suggest what suits your event. On the menu are mixed paella, black rice and paella Valenciana, and we are regularly asked to cater company summer parties and garden parties and summer barbecues.
In a hamlet or village like Burcott, your own garden or a neighbour’s field can make a wonderful venue. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
The menu, dish by dish
Mixed paella
Paella mixta combines meat and seafood in one pan, and it’s often the first pan to empty.
Vegetable and vegan paella
Seasonal vegetables on a rich sofrito base make a proper main dish. For vegans, the stock is plant-based.
Is live paella right for your event?
Barbecues cook in batches, so food comes off in waves. Paella is cooked as one big dish and served together. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Your questions about paella catering in Burcott
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St James: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is Burcott close to London?
About 37 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can paella be the only main course?
Yes. Paella with bread and salad makes a full main course, and tapas or dessert can be added.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Step by step
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. In Burcott, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and how many.
- We come back with paellas to suit your guests, plus any extras.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and the cooking spot.
- We set up, cook from scratch and keep an eye on your timings.
- Guests are served from the pan, and our area is cleared afterwards.
How to prepare
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Have a level space ready for the pans
