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 simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- No hidden extras in your quote

Langley Vale questions
What’s the nearest station to Langley Vale for guests?
Tattenham Corner station, about 1 mile east of the centre.
Is Langley Vale too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it is cooked separately.
How does payment work for businesses?
Let us know your company’s process, and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

The process

- 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.
