Dietary needs and planning tips

Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:

  • Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
  • Include any suppliers you’re feeding
  • Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
  • Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers

After service, we pack down our cooking area; any staff stay as long as agreed.

Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.

12 questions to ask before booking

What’s in the pans

Evening paella

Paella makes great evening food, especially after a few hours on the dance floor.

Desserts

Spanish desserts from churros to crema catalana, or your cake as dessert.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Prices and what affects them

There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:

  • How long we’re needed on site
  • The paellas you choose
  • How many staff you need
  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert

Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before you book.

What to tell us

For a quote, it helps to have:

  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • Where the event is
  • Anything your venue supplies
  • A picture of the space, if you can

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

What we need at the venue

The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:

  • Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
  • A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
  • A level, firm spot for the burners and pans

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Questions from Widmer End

Which station should guests use for Widmer End?

The closest is High Wycombe station, roughly 2.6 miles away.

Is Widmer End too small for live paella?

No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

Do you offer tastings?

Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain the options.

Can you do gluten-free paella?

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.

Do you cater in Widmer End?

We do. Widmer End is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

Can you cook indoors?

Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.

Can you serve drinks?

Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
