Questions from Pusey
How far is Pusey from London?
About 61 miles from central London.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Is my garden big enough?
Usually, yes, if there’s a flat, open spot away from fences and branches. Send a picture and we will check.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is usually popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How far in advance should we book?
The sooner the better, but it is always worth asking. Send your date and we will check.
Does it make a lot of smoke?
Paella is cooked over gas, so there’s cooking steam and smell but little smoke. The smell is normally the best advert for the party.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Why choose live paella in Pusey?
A buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
