Why live cooking beats a buffet

DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Dishes our guests love
Manchego & membrillo
Manchego with sweet quince.
Gambas al ajillo
Popular with prawn fans.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Label vegetarian and allergen-free dishes
- Ask guests about diets and allergies
- Book staff to carry canapés round
- Decide whether tapas are a starter, canapés or the whole meal
Canapés circulate with drinks as guests arrive.
Add a live paella main.

FAQs for Weston Underwood
How far is Weston Underwood from London?
About 52 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Lawrence?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
How many different paellas?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Do you do tapas on their own?
Yes. Tapas can be booked without paella.
Do you do starters?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Step by step
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. At midsummer, it’s light in Weston Underwood until about 9:25pm, ideal for tapas in the garden. In late September, sunset is about 7:05pm; winter receptions, dark by 3:50pm, are better indoors.
