What’s in the pans
Black rice
Squid ink rice is bold and savoury.
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.

Kingston Bagpuize questions
How far is Kingston Bagpuize from London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
What seafood can we have?
We will talk through seafood options when we plan your menu.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. See all areas.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
What happens with live paella?
We bring everything needed to cook on site, cook while everyone watches, and serve when you’re ready to eat.

Should I cook it 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.

Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Ensure most guests can sit to eat
- Plan a meat, a seafood and a vegetable or vegan pan
- Count adults and children separately
- Request clear labels at the serving table
Any staff you book serve and clear, so you can enjoy your guests.
Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana finish the meal, or serve your own cake.
Space, weather and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Is live paella right for your event?
Barbecues cook in batches, so food comes off in waves. Paella is ready all at once, so everyone eats together. Larger events normally cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
