DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Why choose live paella in Kingston Bagpuize?
DIY catering saves money but costs you time. With live paella, you are a guest too. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
Why book with us
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them

Working with your venue

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

Kingston Bagpuize: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
How far is Kingston Bagpuize from London?
About 58 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you cook inside?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
What about pudding?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Is paella OK for kids?
Paella is popular with children, especially a mild chicken one. Let us know numbers and ages.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Frequently, yes. We need a suitable spot and the venue’s agreement.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
