About the dishes
Seafood paella
Seafood paella typically gets the photos, and is best served with lemon.
Tapas
Bravas, tortilla, croquetas and more while the paella cooks.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Little Coxwell questions
Do you come out to small places like Little Coxwell?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater for children?
Most children enjoy paella, especially a mild chicken one. Tell us how many and their ages.
How early should we book?
Early is best, but ask even if it’s soon. We will check availability straight away.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. Find your area.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Can you do sangria?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you need crockery
- The paellas you choose
- Distance and access to the venue
- Waiting and bar staff
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- The address or venue name
- Which courses you have in mind
- The date and rough timings
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
