Your questions about paella party catering in Kintbury
What’s the nearest station to Kintbury for guests?
Kintbury has its own station: Kintbury station.
Is Kintbury too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Usually. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
Is paella OK for kids?
Most children enjoy paella, especially a mild chicken one. Let us know numbers and ages.
Can you supply crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know and we’ll add it to the quote.
Will the neighbours notice?
There’s a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue. Let the neighbours know.
Live paella or other catering?
If you want special but not formal, live paella is hard to beat. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
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.
Planning the cooking area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Churros are a treat for all ages.
Step by step
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. A summer party in Kintbury stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we are done.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Have a level space ready for the pans
