Space, weather and the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Think about shade and seating
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
- Ask staff about diets in advance
We adapt if timings change.
Bar staff and sangria on request.
