What happens on the day

Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. In East Worthing, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
  3. We agree access and set-up with facilities.
  4. We cook live and serve on schedule.

Prices and what affects them

Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:

  • Whether you need crockery
  • How long we are needed on site
  • Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
  • Guest numbers

Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.

What to tell us

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:

  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • The date and rough timings
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff

Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

Space, weather and the venue

Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:

  • Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
  • A safe distance from anything that could catch
  • Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot

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