Paella compared with other options

A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.

The process

A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. For a Christmas party in Ashmore Green, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.

  1. First, we check date and venue.
  2. You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
  3. We provide the paperwork.
  4. Your team watches the paella cook.
  5. It is served quickly, then we pack down.

How to prepare

  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
  • Make sure we can park close by to unload
  • Let us know the timings for the day

How to compare caterers

Catering for every guest

Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Tell us how long the food break is
  • Provide shade and seats outdoors
  • Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
  • Find out what paperwork the venue needs

We arrive at the agreed time and follow your site rules, including sign-in and parking.

Crockery and staff can be added.

What we need at the venue

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

  • The venue’s permission for live cooking
  • Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
  • Parking close enough to carry equipment

Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
