Paella party catering for Caversfield events
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.

Caversfield questions
How far is Caversfield from London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Lawrence?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Is the paella gluten-free?
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.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
How early should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends, which fill up first. Check your date with us.
Where we can cook in Caversfield
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:

How it works
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. At midsummer, it’s light in Caversfield until about 9:30pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
