Droxford questions

Is Droxford too small for live paella?

No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

How far is Droxford from London?

About 58 miles from central London, and well within our area.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Yes. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.

Is halal food available?

Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.

Do you do desserts?

Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.

Can you do sangria?

Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Food vans can create long queues. Paella pans serve many people quickly. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.

Why us?

  • Food that becomes part of the entertainment
  • Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
  • Every diet catered for, pan by pan
  • No hidden extras in your quote

Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

How the day works

On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. December events in Droxford are in the dark from about 4:00pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 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 pack down and leave the space tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area
  • Give us a contact for the day
