Other catering in Caulcott
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Buffets can mean food sitting for a while. Paella goes straight from pan to plate when guests are ready. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
Why Caulcott hosts choose us
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment

The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you’re ready to eat. Golden-hour photos in Caulcott at midsummer come around 9:30pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 9:00pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
