The process

Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. Sunset in Pyrford Green is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

  1. We check your date and the space.
  2. You choose your paellas and any extras.
  3. The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
  4. In goes the rice, and guests gather.
  5. We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.

Preparing for the day

  • Have a level space ready for the pans
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot

Common questions in Pyrford Green

How far is Pyrford Green from London?

About 21 miles from central London.

We are having a ceremony at St Nicholas's Church: can you cater afterwards?

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 typically elsewhere. Send us the reception address.

Should we have more than one paella?

Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.

When should I book?

As early as you can for summer weekends, which fill up first. Check your date with us.

Can you cater at a hired venue?

Typically, if there’s outdoor space to cook. Check the venue allows live cooking.

How much does paella party catering cost in Pyrford Green?

It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.

Can you do gluten-free paella?

We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

What if the weather’s bad?

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.
