We supply Authentic Spanish paella, using the very best ingredients from Spain, cooked in pans which range in size from 4 to 225 guests. We can cater outside for any number. For event inside, we can either cook outside and bring the paella inside for guests to help themselves from the big pans or we can put the paella into small pans on the tables. If we cannot cook outside, we can use our electric pans
We provide a full range of sides from tapas to salads to frites and everything else for a truely memorable Spanish experience
We only use the very best ingredients; mainly La Bomba rice from the Albafera region ( it absorbs 3 times its weight in water and fattens out rather than growing longer like long grain so it takes in huge amounts of flavour ), saffron from Castilla La Mancha, paprika from Murcia and a whole host of spices and flavours from many parts of Spain and North Africa
Paella originally was a true peasants food from around the Valencia region in Spain. Inland the paella would have been mainly rice and vegetables with maybe rats, frogs & toads, rabbits, snakes; in fact, anything that was free and cheap. On the coast, the rice probably would not have had so many vegetables but would have had all the seafood that they could not sell ( including monkfish that was so ugly no-one wanted to buy it whereas now it is expensive as people have realised that the flesh tastes amazing )
Spanish paella is mainly rice but the English prefer it with a greater ratio of meat, which is what we supply. The most popular is chicken & chorizo ( which was actually invented by Jamie Oliver in the 90's and not very well liked by the Spanish so beware; if a restaurant in Spain if doing Chicken & Chorizo, it is catering for tourists not locals )
Paella can only be cooked well with the right ingredients but it mainly requires passion; it needs a subtle touch and a need to truely care for it. We have been cooking paella for over 20 years and are still learning !!!!
Steve was great, quietly set up and filled the garden with fantastic aromas whilst cooking, before serving his paellas for 80 guests on time, which were a great hit with everyone there.
Thanks Steve!
Overall good, the paella was tasty! But the food took quite a while as he was on his own and apparently he was using backup equipment due to a larger job the day before, also our guest who asked for a vegan dish was given one with mussels in it. BUT! The man was very pleasant, he arrived promptly and set up completely independently and 9/10 of our guests thought it was great!
Steve was great - very accommodating, unobtrusive, patient and everyone loved the food! Compared with others his paellas were very good value indeed. I highly recommend Steve and Scoff & Nosh.
Thanks Steve for the delicious paella! It was perfect for my friends party.
Steve was completely amazing at our wedding. Everything was made according to the schedule we provided and served up punctually. The food was completely delicious - everyone had enough food and really enjoyed it! Steve made a special portion for one of our guests who had a legumes allergy. No other special arrangements were necessary as the choice of paella and tapas satisfied most dietary requirements. Would definitely recommend Steve!
The paella was delicious and the service was impeccable. Thank you!
Our guests all really enjoyed the food
Brilliant service, great paella dishes, 50 servings of chicken and chorizo and 30 vegan. Both were delicious. Definitely recommended.
Would 100% recommend! We had a hen party of 14 people, everyone absolutely loved it! The starter of tapas went down as a hit! Everyone tucked in before we could even get all the pictures and the paella was stunning! We then had the most delicious brownies for dessert. Brilliant value for money and would definitely recommend.
Paella was delicious, everyone enjoyed it and went back for seconds!
Steve was amazing! Good great and such a lovely and reliable chap. Highly recommend! Thank you so much!
Excellent professional chef, amazing Korean food, Steve was very professional in his approach and served up brilliant Korean food bang on time- everyone was so impressed and the teenagers loved it!
The food was great and plenty of it 4.35 We booked canapes for my 80th birthday party with about 50 guests. Everyone enjoyed the food which covered the vegetarians and the gluten free members too. My two, very minor complaints, were 1). my payment wasn't recognised straight away and 2) my daughter, who hosted my party, thought the servers should have taken the trays of food round more often. This did not...
Brilliant service brilliant to deal with though out the booking and organising of our event The food was cooked to perfection and the sweets were a delight Thanks steve and well done
Brilliant - would highly recommend! 5 Catering outside from their canopy kitchen over two days for a 60-strong group of hungry school staff per day. Variety of food offered and supplied was fab - we had choices of both meat and vegan paellas, spanish chicken and meatballs served in buns one day and meat and vegan chilli, sweet & sour chicken with rice the second day - all served with delicious side...

Delicious Paella and great value 4.65 We hired at the last minute just for a small Family gathering of 8 people, the paella was delicious and we enjoyed watching it be cooked in front of us out in the garden. I’d definitely recommend (already have passed on details) and would definitely use again for other gatherings at home too! Thank you for a wonderful service
Really great service! Steve was very efficient. He arrived in good time and made two delicious paella’s and three very good salads. We will definitely use him again.
