DIY paella versus live catering
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.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
What happens on the day
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. A summer party in Maynard's Green stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

FAQs for Maynard's Green
Do you come out to small places like Maynard's Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
We’re having a ceremony at Christ Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Frequently, yes. We need a suitable spot and the venue’s agreement.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.

- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
When you are ready to eat, we serve straight from the pan, while you enjoy your guests.
