Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Let the neighbours know
- Have enough chairs for most guests
If you’ve booked staff, they’ll help serve and clear.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges round off the meal.
Planning the cooking area
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- A photo of the garden helps us check the space
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

FAQs for Edgcott
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Michael: can you cater afterwards?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
How far is Edgcott from London?
About 48 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Is my garden big enough?
Most gardens are fine. We need level ground, clearance and access. Send us a picture.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
