For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can 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’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Step by step
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests typically gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. At midsummer, it is light in Bagshot until about 9:25pm, perfect for canapés outdoors. In late September, sunset is about 7:10pm; winter receptions, dark by 4:00pm, are better indoors.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers and how you’d like the tapas served.
- We suggest a selection and confirm a quote.
- We arrive, set up and finish hot dishes on site.
- Canapés circulate with drinks, or tapas go to the tables.
- Afterwards, our equipment is cleared away.

Planning help
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Before you choose a spot
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Space for a serving table or station
- Space to finish hot dishes
- The venue’s agreement to outside caterers
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Padrón peppers
- Albóndigas
- Patatas bravas
- Chorizo in red wine
- Olives & bread
- Tortilla española
- Croquetas
- Manchego & membrillo
- Gambas al ajillo
- Serrano ham
Live paella or other catering?
A plated starter needs a kitchen and staff. Table tapas are shared and relaxed. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

What tapas catering costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The number of people
- The length of service
- Parking and unloading
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The address or venue name

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers

FAQs for Bagshot
We are having a ceremony at Church of the Good Shepherd: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station should guests use for Bagshot?
Bedwyn station, about 2.4 miles west of the centre.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Is halal food available?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
