How it works
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. For a Christmas party in Broadwater Down, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Live paella or other catering?
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- We cover Broadwater Down and the whole of Kent
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan

Questions from Broadwater Down
Can you cook in Dunorlan Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
That’s one of paella’s strengths. Tell us how long the break is and we will plan service around it.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
