Common questions in Studdal
We’re having a ceremony at East Studdal Church Hall: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station should guests use for Studdal?
Martin Mill station, about 2.3 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Most children enjoy paella, particularly a simple chicken pan. Let us know numbers and ages.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Typically, yes, if there’s a flat, open spot away from fences and branches. Send us a photo of the space.
How much is live paella catering?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.
When should I book?
As early as you can for summer weekends, which fill up first. Check your date with us.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Cooking yourself saves money but costs you the party. With live paella, you are a guest too. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:
- Warn the neighbours
- Have bins ready
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Ensure children stay back from the pans
Booked staff help serve and clear so you can relax.
