Should I cook it myself?

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Step by step

Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell usually draws people over. In Lower Morden, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
  3. Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
  4. We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Give us your final numbers and diets
  • Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

Paella compared with other options

Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.

Why book with us

  • Hot food served quickly from the pan
  • No hidden extras in your quote
  • Live cooking, not reheated food
  • Sangria and bar staff available

Space, weather and the venue

No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:

  • The venue’s permission for live cooking
  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
  • Flat, firm ground for the cooking area

As a London location, Lower Morden is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

Lower Morden questions

Could we have live paella in Cannon Hill Common?

Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.

What’s the nearest station to Lower Morden for guests?

St Helier station, about 0.9 miles east of the centre.

Can you do gluten-free paella?

Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.

Who clears up?

We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.

Do you work in winter?

We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.

Can the paella be cooked in a hall?

Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.

How much is live paella catering?

We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a price.

Can you cook at our office?

Frequently, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We’ll check with your facilities team.
