FAQs for Nether Worton

What’s the nearest station to Nether Worton for guests?

The closest is Heyford station, roughly 4.5 miles away.

How far is Nether Worton from London?

About 64 miles from central London, and well within our area.

Can paella feel formal?

Served well, it feels generous and special: canapés, table tapas, good crockery and staff serving the tables.

What if the timings change?

It happens. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it’s served at its best.

Can you bring crockery?

If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.

Can you serve drinks?

Do you clear up afterwards?

We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.

Do you cook inside?

Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.

Paella compared with other options

Food vans can create long queues. Paella is served quickly to many guests. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

DIY paella versus live catering

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

How we price wedding paella catering

These are the factors that matter most:

  • Your choice of paellas
  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
  • Travel, parking and access
  • Plates, cutlery and glassware

Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.

Getting an accurate quote

The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Try to include:

  • Expected numbers
  • Your date and when you want to eat
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • The courses you’d like

A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

How the day works

Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. In Nether Worton, midsummer sunset is about 9:30pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

  1. Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
  2. Together we plan each course.
  3. Timings are agreed with your venue.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve each course.
  5. We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.

Preparing for the day

  • Share the running order, including any speeches
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot

Getting a price

It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.
