Why live paella?

Paella was made for feeding a crowd. In Valencia it’s cooked outdoors in a wide, shallow pan, shared straight from the pan, and the cooking is half the fun. That’s what we bring to your event: the sizzle of the sofrito, the saffron colour spreading through the rice, and a golden crust on the base that everyone wants a spoonful of.

One cooking area feeds a lot of people, the food arrives hot, and a few different pans means meat eaters, seafood lovers, vegetarians and vegans can all eat together. We cater weddings, parties, corporate events and festivals across London and the South East.
