Dishes our guests love
Paella lunches
Two or three paellas served from the pan, ideal for a lunch break.
Vegan and vegetarian pans
Separate pans with plant-based stock.
Paella compared with other options
Buffets can leave food sitting out. Paella is served hot as soon as it’s ready. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

How it works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. For a Christmas party in Kingsnorth, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
Getting a price
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can use our quote form.
