How the day works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. After-work summer parties in Boyden Gate 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.

DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
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.
Where we can cook in Boyden Gate
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work. What matters most:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:

We leave the space as we found it.

Live paella or other catering?
Buffet food sits out. Paella is served hot as soon as it’s ready. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
