Common questions in Ovington
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Ovington too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is paella OK for kids?
Yes. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Tell us how many children are coming.
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Will the neighbours notice?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell, and it’s a good smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
Paella party catering in Ovington, made fresh on the day
It is easy to cater for a mix of guests: meat, seafood and vegetable or vegan pans side by side. Children usually love a simple chicken paella. We are frequently asked to cater family get-togethers and garden get-togethers, serving mixed paella, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella.
A country party near Ovington is perfect for paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Dishes our guests love
Seafood paella
The seafood pan is frequently the showpiece, and is best served with lemon.
Tapas
Bravas, tortilla, croquetas and more while the paella cooks.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Step by step
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your party. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. Sunset in Ovington is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
