DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
FAQs for Moreton
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Are your tapas vegetarian-friendly?
Plenty are vegetarian, like tortilla and padrón peppers. We label each dish.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
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 make a separate gluten-free pan.
Are the tapas served hot?
We finish hot dishes on site; cold tapas are laid out as guests arrive.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
