Questions from Weedon
Do you come out to small places like Weedon?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Weedon close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
About our paella catering in Weedon
A couple of different pans covers everyone: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. Every pan is cooked on its own. Typical bookings include fairs, fêtes and festivals and christenings and family gatherings, with vegan paella, mixed paella and black rice.
Somewhere as small as Weedon, a garden or field is frequently the venue. Country lanes and long drives are no problem if we know about them, and cooking close to where we can park helps. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.

Who books paella catering in Weedon?

Live paella suits almost any gathering. In Weedon, people book us for events such as:
- Anniversary celebrations
- Staff parties and work lunches
- Christenings and family gatherings
- Community events and fairs
For a christening or wedding at a church such as Old School Room Chapel, a paella lunch or reception nearby is an easy way to feed everyone.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the team stays
- Travel and parking costs

Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

- Request clear labels at the serving table
The rice takes about 20 minutes once it goes in, so we time it carefully. If timings shift, we adapt.
Finish with churros, crema catalana or tarta de Santiago, or serve your own cake.

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
