Why live cooking beats a buffet
For catering that is part of the event, live paella is a strong choice. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available

Can I cook paella for a crowd 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.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Common questions in Hollington
How far is Hollington from London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cook near the sea around Hollington?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.

We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
Can the team help cook?
Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Tell us what you’d like.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we’ll provide it.

How do you work out quantities?

The process
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell usually draws people over. In Hollington, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
- You get a menu, a price and documents.
- Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We clear our area and leave it clean.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
