Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
We clear our cooking area away afterwards; staff you’ve booked stay as agreed.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.

How it works
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. At midsummer, sunset in Pitchcott is about 9:25pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Leave space around the cooking area
Getting a price
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.

FAQs for Pitchcott
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St. Giles?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Pitchcott close to London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cover Pitchcott?
We do. We cook at events in Pitchcott and across Buckinghamshire. Send us your date to check availability.
How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you cater the whole day?
Any part of the day, or all of it, from the drinks reception to the evening.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Where we can cook in Pitchcott
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
