No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
What if our speeches run late?
We adapt. We stay in touch with your coordinator and time the rice so it is served at its best.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it’s cooked separately.

We do. We cook at events in Botolph Claydon and across Buckinghamshire. Send us your date to check availability.

It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.

DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
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.
Space, weather and the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
