Paella compared with other options
Sandwiches are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

How it works
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. For a Christmas party in Kingston, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.

DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
We arrive on time and follow your site rules.
Canapé tapas for receptions and launches.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Common questions in Kingston
Could we have live paella in Alexandra Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
How far is Kingston from London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Often, yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We will check with your facilities team.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.

Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a price.
