Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot

How it works
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. In Farthing Green, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.

Dishes our guests love
Vegan and vegetarian pans
Cooked separately with their own stock, so everyone eats well.
Paella lunches
Two or three paellas served from the pan, quick to serve to a big team.
Paella compared with other options
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
