How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh. For a Christmas party in Ash Green, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the timings for the day

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Can you cater a winter event?
Yes, if there’s a covered, ventilated spot. Book early for December.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

About the dishes
Paella lunches
Paella is a quick, hot lunch for a crowd, with every diet covered.
Bowl food
Bowls of paella, easy to eat standing.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
