FAQs for Great Coxwell
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Giles: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Great Coxwell close to London?
About 66 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you cover Great Coxwell?
We do. Great Coxwell is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
How we price paella party catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Travel, parking and access
- How long we are needed on site
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- What the venue already provides
- Which courses you have in mind

Catering for every guest

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
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.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. A summer party in Great Coxwell stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
