Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Loudwater: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Loudwater for guests?
The closest is Bourne End station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Is Loudwater close to London?
About 27 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
Can you cater the whole day?
We can cater as much or as little of the day as you like, from canapés to evening food.
Do you work with our venue?
Yes. We’ll speak to your venue about access and timings.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
What about pudding?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Live paella or other catering?
A buffet can leave food sitting out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate when guests are ready. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Live cooking, not reheated food
