Bobbing questions
How far is Bobbing from London?
About 36 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Bobbing?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.

Frequently, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We will confirm with facilities.
Can we pay by invoice?
We’ll explain booking and payment when you enquire.

Do you offer halal options?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
We can. Paella is served straight from the pan, and we plan pans and serving points around your timings.
How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. After-work summer parties in Bobbing have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
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.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Why choose live paella in Bobbing?
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella just needs a suitable spot. Larger events typically cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
