Twitton questions
Do you come out to small places like Twitton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station should guests use for Twitton?
The closest is Dunton Green station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Generally. We need a suitable spot and the venue’s agreement.
How much does paella party catering cost in Twitton?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a price.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Will the neighbours notice?
Paella is cooked over gas, so there is cooking steam and smell but little smoke. The smell is typically the best advert for the party.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Ordering in is easy but forgettable. Live paella is something guests remember. Larger events usually cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss. A summer party in Twitton stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Planning help
What paella party catering costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Parking and unloading
- Guest numbers
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How many staff you need
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where we’d cook
- The venue or postcode
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Ensure children stay back from the pans
- Count adults and children separately
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
When you are ready to eat, we serve straight from the pan, while you enjoy your guests.

DIY paella versus live catering
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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
