How it works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. For a Christmas party in Dallington, 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 live and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Preparing for the day

What affects the price in Dallington
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of people
- The paellas you choose
- Parking and unloading
- Whether you need crockery
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The courses you’d like
- A picture of where we’d cook
- The venue or postcode
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Live paella or other catering?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
Why Dallington hosts choose us
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Drinks service on request
