What happens on the day
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. For a Christmas party in Hook Green, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Name one person we can ask on the day
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, use our quote form.

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.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Hook Green questions
Can you cook in Longfield Chalk Bank?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Do you come out to small places like Hook Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you cater in Hook Green?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Hook Green is within our area. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Can we pay by invoice?
Let us know your company’s process, and we will talk you through it.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is usually popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
We can. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
Do you cater at business parks?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll confirm with facilities.
Live paella or other catering?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
