St. Ebbes: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to St. Ebbes for guests?
The closest is Oxford station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Is St. Ebbes close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Do you cater for suppliers?
Yes. Add your suppliers to the final numbers and we’ll plan for them.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.

How many paellas should we have?

The menu, dish by dish
Evening paella
Fresh pans for evening guests, quick to serve and filling.
Canapé tapas
Canapé tapas fill the gap before the meal.
DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you can enjoy yourselves.
Canapé tapas with the drinks reception keep guests going during photos.

Step by step
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. For a summer wedding in St. Ebbes, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- First, we check your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Preparing for the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Let us know the timings for the day
