Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Arreton questions
Can you cook near the sea around Arreton?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Is Arreton too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you do starters?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
What paperwork do you have?
Send us the venue’s requirements and we will respond.
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.
