Colleagues gather to watch the pans, and once it’s ready, a queue moves fast because it’s served straight from the pan. We cook canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and paella lunches, and we are regularly asked to cater office lunches and away days and team-building events.
For rural venues near Capel, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Let us know about access and parking. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:

Common questions in Capel
What’s the nearest station to Capel for guests?
The closest is Paddock Wood station, roughly 2 miles away.
Could we have live paella in Foal Hurst Wood?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Do you work in winter?
Yes, where the venue has a covered, ventilated space to cook. December dates go fast.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it is cooked separately.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
For event organisers in Capel
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
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 saves passing messages back and forth.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
