FAQs for Tingewick
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary Magdalen: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you come out to small places like Tingewick?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
How far in advance should we book?
Early is best, but ask even if it’s soon. Send your date and we will check.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Can you cook indoors?
Typically we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell, and it is a good smell. Let the neighbours know.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
How it works
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. At midsummer, it is light in Tingewick until about 9:30pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
