Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

FAQs for Graveney
Could we have live paella in South Swale?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Is Graveney close to London?
About 46 miles from central London.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?

Can the team help cook?
Ask us about it when you enquire, and we will discuss what’s possible at your venue.
What’s in the pans
Vegan and vegetarian pans
A real main for vegetarians and vegans, not an afterthought.
Paella lunches
Paella is a quick, hot lunch for a crowd.
Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
Service is timed to your schedule, whether that’s a lunch break or an evening party.
Sangria and bar staff for drinks you provide.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Somewhere close to park and unload
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Is live paella right for your work event?
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
Why Graveney hosts choose us
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Everything cooked fresh at your event

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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 at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
