Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

Planning the cooking area

Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:

  • Somewhere close to park and unload
  • Level ground for the pans and burners
  • The venue’s permission for live cooking

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Menu ideas

  • Canapé tapas
  • Desserts
  • Bowl food
  • Drinks service
  • Paella lunches
  • Vegan & vegetarian pans

Bodle Street Green: your questions answered

Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.

Is Bodle Street Green close to London?

Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

Can we add tapas or canapés?

Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.

Can you send documents to our venue?

Ask facilities for their list and pass it on.

Do you come to Bodle Street Green?

We do. Bodle Street Green is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

Is it really cooked live?

Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.

What do you need at the venue?

Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.

Do you clear up afterwards?

Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.

Perfect for your work event in Bodle Street Green

No kitchen required, so courtyards and outdoor spaces work.

Live paella works for big and small events alike. Typical bookings include:

  • Team days
  • Training days and conferences
  • Charity and fundraising events
  • Summer parties for staff

Choosing a paella caterer

What affects the price in Bodle Street Green

These are the factors that matter most:

  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • The length of service
  • Guest numbers
  • Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood

Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Details that help

Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:

  • Expected numbers
  • The venue or postcode
  • Which courses you have in mind
  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff

A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.

Organising for someone else?

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.

If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

How the day works

Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. After-work summer parties in Bodle Street Green have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. We check the date and venue.
  2. You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
  3. We send any documents your venue needs.
  4. The paella cooks as your team gathers.
  5. It is served quickly, then we pack down.

How to prepare

  • Ensure we can park close by to unload
  • Leave space around the cooking area
  • Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
