Planning the cooking area
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Facilities approval and any site rules

Why live cooking beats a buffet
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

How it works
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell normally draws people over. After-work summer parties in Iping have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Give us your final numbers and diets
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
