Naphill: your questions answered
How far is Naphill from London?
About 32 miles from central London.
Which station should guests use for Naphill?
Saunderton station, about 2.1 miles west of the centre.
Do you do tapas on their own?
Yes. Tapas can be booked without paella.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
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.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Are the tapas served hot?
Yes, hot dishes are finished at the venue so they’re served at their best.
Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Live paella or other catering?
Crisps and nibbles fill a gap. Tapas make a proper course. Larger events generally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

- Timings and hours
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Parking and unloading
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.
