Why choose live paella in Bitterne Park?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available

How it works
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. For a Christmas party in Bitterne Park, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
- You get a menu, a price and documents.
- We agree access and set-up with facilities.
- We cook live and serve on schedule.
- We clear our area and leave it clean.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Leave space around the cooking area

Planning help
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
