FAQs for Row Town
Could we have live paella in Woburn Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.

Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cater for young children?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.

Many tapas are naturally vegetarian, such as tortilla, bravas and padrón peppers. Each dish is labelled.
Do you cook tapas on site?

Do you do starters?

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 for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
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.
Live paella or other catering?
Plated starters need a kitchen. Table tapas are shared and relaxed. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
