Why live cooking beats a buffet
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan

Common questions in Beedon
Do you cater in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
How far is Beedon from London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is paella OK for kids?
Yes. Children normally love a plain chicken paella. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you bring crockery?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you do starters?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.

Working with your venue
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Prices and what affects them
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Your choice of paellas
- The length of service
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many staff you need
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Expected numbers
- The date and rough timings
- A photo of the space, if you can
- The venue or postcode
Not sure what you need yet? That is fine: give us the basics about your party, and we will make suggestions. To start, use our quote form.
What happens on the day
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. A summer party in Beedon stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
Getting a price
To get a price, use our quote form. Give us the details of your party, and we will suggest paellas and extras to suit.
