- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them

How the day works
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. After-work summer parties in Liss 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 pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Common questions in Liss
Which station should guests use for Liss?
Liss station, in Liss itself.
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
That’s one of paella’s strengths. Share the timings and we will plan for them.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we’ll send what you need.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
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 date and rough timings
