Should I cook it myself?
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.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Waiting and bar staff
- Guest numbers
- Your choice of paellas
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and rough timings
- Diets and allergies you know about
- What the venue already provides
- Expected numbers
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Space, weather and the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Shottesbrooke questions
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St John the Baptist: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

Twyford station, about 3.3 miles west of the centre.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Are premium seafood options available?
Tell us your preferences and we will suggest seafood options to suit your menu and budget. Premium options are available.
Does paella work for big events?
It is ideal. Large pans and fast service from the pan make it well suited to crowds.
