- Roughly how many adults and children
- Anything your venue supplies
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: give us the basics about your party, and we’ll suggest a menu. Start when you are ready: use our quote form.
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’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

Yattendon questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far is Yattendon from London?
About 48 miles from central London.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you cook indoors?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
How many different paellas?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
When should I book?
Early for summer weekends. Check your date with us.
Step by step
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your party. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. A summer party in Yattendon stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
