Team away days in the countryside around Chestnut Street suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

The process
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. For a Christmas party in Chestnut Street, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Plan cover in case of rain
