The process
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it is served at its best. A summer party in Loxwood stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- We check your date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.

FAQs for Loxwood
Is Loxwood close to London?
About 34 miles from central London.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
How many different paellas?
Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
What’s in the pans
Seafood paella
A seafood pan with prawns and mussels, for the fish lovers.
