How the day works
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. In Coldred, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

Common questions in Coldred
How far is Coldred from London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Coldred too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we will provide it.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, subject to the building’s rules.
Can you invoice the company?
Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how we work.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The length of service
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you need crockery
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your work event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Where the event is
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The date and rough timings
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
