Do you come out to small places like Midgham Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
There’s a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue. Let the neighbours know.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Can you cook in my back garden?
Most gardens are fine. We need level ground, clearance and access. A picture helps.

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Midgham Green.

Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.

What paella party catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many courses
- Your choice of paellas
- Distance and access to the venue
- Waiting and bar staff
Larger events generally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Anything your venue supplies
- The address or venue name
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
