Questions from Stoke Poges
How far is Stoke Poges from London?
Roughly 21 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Andrew's Church Centre?
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. Tell us where the reception will be.
Does it make a lot of smoke?
There is a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue, and it’s a good smell. Let the neighbours know.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Do you come to Stoke Poges?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Stoke Poges is within our area. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Is halal food available?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Often, yes. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. A summer party in Stoke Poges stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- We check your date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.

Working with your venue
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Should I cook it 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 you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
