Live paella or other catering?
For catering that is part of the event, live paella is a strong choice. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. After-work summer parties in Lidsey have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

What corporate paella catering costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Whether you need crockery
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- The length of service
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.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The courses you’d like

Questions from Lidsey
Can you cook near the sea around Lidsey?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Can you cook in The Brooks Local Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
That’s one of paella’s strengths. Tell us how long the break is and we will plan service around it.
Can the team help cook?
Teams often enjoy watching and asking questions. Tell us what you’d like.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
What do you need at the venue?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
