  3. We send any documents your venue needs.
  4. Your team watches the paella cook.
  5. Fast service, then we clear away.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

Planning the cooking area

Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:

  • Parking close enough to carry equipment
  • Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
  • Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site

As a London location, Emerson Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Catering for every guest

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Check the building or venue allows live cooking
  • Give us diet totals and allergy details
  • Collect dietary needs when people sign up
  • Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks

We adapt if timings change.

Bar staff and sangria on request.

Is live paella right for your work event?

Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.

Why book with us

  • Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
  • Drinks service on request
  • Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
  • Fast service from the pan
