Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

Eddington questions
Is Eddington too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
We are having a ceremony at Hungerford Methodist Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you cover Eddington?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Eddington is within our area and the rest of West Berkshire. For a quote, use our quote form.
Do you take everything away?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
When should I book?
Early for summer weekends. Check your date with us.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. At midsummer, it is light in Eddington until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long 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 pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
