Hands serving paella from a pan at a table with drinks

Should I cook it myself?

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Questions from Hazelwood

Can you cook at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.

Which station should guests use for Hazelwood?

The closest is Chelsfield station, roughly 2.1 miles away.

Can you send documents to our venue?

Send us the venue’s requirements and we will respond.

Should we have more than one paella?

Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.

Who clears up?

Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.

Can you feed everyone quickly?

Yes. Paella is served straight from the pan, and we plan pans and serving points around your timings.

Can the team help cook?

Ask us about it when you enquire, and we’ll see what works.

Do you offer halal options?

Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it’s cooked separately.

Is live paella right for your work event?

Sandwiches are easy but forgettable. Live paella is an event in itself. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

The process

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. After-work summer parties in Hazelwood have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  2. We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
  3. We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
  4. On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
  5. We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
