What affects the price in Spring Vale
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Your choice of paellas
- Distance and access to the venue
- Timings and hours
- How many courses
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as St. Peter's Church, with a paella lunch at home or in a hall afterwards. The coast is within about 2 miles, so seafood paella often features.
Paella party catering in PO34 is planned around your venue and timings. Local streets include Springvale Road and Oakhill Road; a party at home on any of them works well with live paella.

Planning the cooking area
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
For somewhere as remote as Spring Vale, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

How it works
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. A summer party in Spring Vale stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

FAQs for Spring Vale
We’re having a ceremony at St. Peter'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 normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Is Spring Vale close to London?
Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, including the Isle of Wight. See all areas.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.

Yes, if you need them. Let us know and we’ll add it to the quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
