FAQs for Flimwell
Is Flimwell too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cook at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
How much is live paella catering?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we will send what you need.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Parking and unloading
- How many guests are eating
- How long we’re needed on site
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
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.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and rough timings
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. To send your details, use our quote form.
DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
