Your questions about paella party catering in Kingston Stert
Do you cater in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Kingston Stert from London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you take everything away?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Do you do desserts?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Is my garden big enough?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level spot clear of fences and trees. Send a photo and we will check.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- How many staff you need
- The paellas you choose
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Guest numbers
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The address or venue name
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Step by step
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. At midsummer, it’s light in Kingston Stert until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your date, address and numbers.
- You get a menu and a quote.
- We arrive before your guests and set up.
- Guests watch the paella cook.
- We serve, then clear our area.
