Paella catering in Tyringham, cooked live
Everything is cooked from scratch on site, beginning with a sofrito of onion, garlic, peppers and tomato, followed by stock, saffron and rice. On the menu are chicken and chorizo paella, vegan paella and mixed paella, and we’re frequently booked for office lunches and staff parties and garden get-togethers.
In a small place like Tyringham, events are typically in a garden, a field or a nearby hall. Country lanes and long drives are no problem if we know about them, and a firm spot near where we park makes set-up easier.

Questions from Tyringham
Is Tyringham close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Peter: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan for them.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
How long do you need on site?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Is live paella right for your event?
Vans serve one order at a time. A paella pan serves many portions quickly, which suits weddings and parties where everyone eats together. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available

What paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many staff you need
- Timings and hours
- The number of people
- Distance and access to the venue
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before booking.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The venue or postcode
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Roughly how many adults and children
Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
