Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Ashford Hill? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
How we price paella party catering
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How many guests are eating
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- A picture of where we’d cook
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. When you are ready, use our quote form.

How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. Sunset in Ashford Hill is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.

Common questions in Ashford Hill
What’s the nearest station to Ashford Hill for guests?
The closest is Midgham station, roughly 3 miles away.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Paul?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level spot clear of fences and trees. Send a photo and we will check.
Can you bring crockery?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Does it make plenty of smoke?
There is a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
Can you supply plates?
On request. Crockery or disposables can be added.
DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
