Beenham questions
How far is Beenham from London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you cater for children?
Paella is popular with children, particularly a simple chicken pan. Tell us how many and their ages.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
How early should we book?
Early is best, but ask even if it is soon. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.

How we price paella party catering
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Guest numbers
- Timings and hours
- The paellas you choose
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The courses you’d like
- The date and rough timings
- The address or venue name

How it works
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. A summer party in Beenham stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- We check your date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
