Dietary needs and planning tips

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:

  • Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
  • Confirm live cooking with facilities
  • Add a diet question to the sign-up form
  • Provide shade and seats outdoors

We keep the cooking area tidy and contained.

Crockery and staff can be added.

For event organisers in Chiddingfold

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Chiddingfold? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.

Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

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.

For catering that is part of the event, live paella is a strong choice. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

How the day 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 Chiddingfold, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. You get a menu, a price and documents.
  3. We agree access and set-up with facilities.
  4. We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
  5. We clear our area and leave it clean.

Preparing for the day

  • Check the venue allows live cooking
  • Leave space around the cooking area
  • Share the running order, including any speeches
