Questions from Maiden's Green
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you come out to small places like Maiden's Green?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
What do you need at the venue?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Do you cook inside?
Typically we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Is live paella right for your event?
Nibbles fill a gap. Tapas are a real course. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.

Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
