Planning for every diet

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

  • Have cover ready for a shower
  • Plan where rubbish goes
  • Count adults and children separately
  • Ask guests about diets when you invite them

If you’ve booked staff, they’ll help serve and clear so you can relax.

Tapas and nibbles while the paella cooks keep hunger at bay.

Letcombe Regis: your questions answered

Could we have live paella in Betjeman Millennium Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.

How far is Letcombe Regis from London?

About 59 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

Do you come to Letcombe Regis?

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Letcombe Regis. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Do you do vegan paella?

Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.

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 long does the paella take?

We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.

Can you cook indoors?

Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.

Can you cook halal paella?

Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.

Should I cook it myself?

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

What paella party catering costs

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • Waiting and bar staff
  • Whether you need crockery
  • Timings and hours
  • Distance and access to the venue

The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

What we need to know

To check availability and price, we need:

  • What the venue already provides
  • Your date and when you want to eat
  • A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
  • Expected numbers

Send us the date, your venue or OX12 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, use our quote form.

Organising a club, school or community event in Letcombe Regis? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.

Step by step

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 Letcombe Regis 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.

  1. It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
  2. We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
  3. On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
  4. Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
  5. We serve it hot from the pan, then pack down.

Before we arrive

  • Share the running order, including any speeches
  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
