Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early

Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff.
Sangria and bar staff can be added.
Paella compared with other options
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests. Paella covers them with separate pans. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- A clear, itemised quote
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Questions from Newnham Murren
Could we have live paella in Kinecroft?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Do you come out to small places like Newnham Murren?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
For planners, venues and organisers
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
