Paella compared with other options

Food vans can create long queues. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

Ledborough: your questions answered

Which station should guests use for Ledborough?

The closest is Beaconsfield station, roughly 0.5 miles away.

We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Michael and All Angels: 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.

Which areas do you serve?

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Ledborough.

Is halal food available?

Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.

Will you talk to our venue?

Yes, and it saves you passing messages. Introduce us and we’ll sort the details.

How do you work out quantities?

We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.

Do you clear up afterwards?

Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.

How much space do you need?

Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.

Choosing a paella caterer

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.

Planners, venues and businesses

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Ledborough? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

The process

When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Ledborough, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.

  1. First, we check your date.
  2. You pick the courses and dishes.
  3. We confirm everything with your venue.
  4. The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
  5. We serve, then pack down.

How to prepare

  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
  • Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
  • Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
