- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.

Planning help
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Common questions in East Preston
Is East Preston close to London?
About 50 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including West Sussex. See all areas.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Why choose live paella in East Preston?
Buffet food sits out. Paella is served hot as soon as it’s ready. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
Why East Preston hosts choose us
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Drinks service on request
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
Dietary needs and planning tips

- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls.
Canapé tapas for receptions and launches.
