Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Plan seats for most guests
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Have bins ready
If you’ve booked staff, they’ll help serve and clear so you can relax.
Churros and chocolate go down well with all ages.

How the day works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell usually draws people over. For a late-May party in Stockcross, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- We serve it hot from the pan, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches

FAQs for Stockcross
How far is Stockcross from London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London.
Is Stockcross too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, West Berkshire included. Find your area.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Will the neighbours notice?
There is a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
Is halal food available?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Is my garden big enough?
Usually, yes, if there is a flat, open spot away from fences and branches. Send us a photo of the space.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
