Questions from Church Enstone
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Kenelm: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
What’s the nearest station to Church Enstone for guests?
Charlbury station, about 3.8 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Is paella smart enough for a wedding?
It can be as relaxed or as polished as you like, depending on how it’s served.

How we price wedding paella catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The paellas you choose
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- How many guests are eating
- Distance and access to the venue
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Anything your venue supplies
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Expected numbers
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, use our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Space, weather and the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
