How it works
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell usually draws people over. December events in Fingest are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

Should I cook it 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 be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Get facilities approval early
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
We keep the cooking area tidy and contained, and clear it away afterwards.

Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella is an event in itself. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
