How the day works
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. For a Christmas party in Frilford Heath, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, 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.

About the dishes
Vegan and vegetarian pans
Separate pans with plant-based stock.
Bowl food
Bowls of paella, easy to eat standing and networking events.
Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
