Combe questions
What’s the nearest station to Combe for guests?
The closest is Combe station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Is Combe too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Does it make plenty of smoke?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell, and it’s a good smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
How much does paella party catering cost in Combe?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Is my garden big enough?
Generally, yes, if there’s a flat, open spot away from fences and branches. Send us a photo of the space.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
Planning the cooking area
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

What paella party catering costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Timings and hours
- Your choice of paellas
- The number of people
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Expected numbers
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and time of the event
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving. A summer party in Combe stays light until about 9:30pm 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.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
How to prepare
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
