Working with your venue

Paella compared with other options

Hog roasts do not suit vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

Why us?

  • Real theatre, not just catering
  • Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
  • Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
  • Served hot, straight from the pan

FAQs for Holyport

How far is Holyport from London?

Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

Is Holyport too small for live paella?

No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

Can you bring crockery?

Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.

Can you set up in a small garden?

Many gardens work. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. A picture helps.

What if the weather’s bad?

A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll make a plan B with you.

Do you do starters?

Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.

Do you cook at halls and clubs?

Yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Check the venue allows live cooking.

What happens on the day

When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. A summer party in Holyport stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

  1. Tell us when and where, and how many.
  2. You get a menu and a quote.
  3. We arrive before your guests and set up.
  4. Guests watch the paella cook.
  5. We serve, then clear our area.

Preparing for the day

  • Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
  • Get the venue’s permission for cooking
  • Name one person we can ask on the day

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
