Kingston Stert: your questions answered
Is Kingston Stert too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is typically popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
How much is live paella catering?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
What if our speeches run late?
It happens. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it’s served at its best.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Send us the running order and speech times
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you do not have to.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.
For event organisers in Kingston Stert
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.

Table tapas
Sharing tapas breaks the ice before the paella arrives.
Desserts
To finish: Spanish desserts or your own cake.
Live paella or other catering?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and suits a relaxed style. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
