The process
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell generally draws people over. In Middle Wallop, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.

DIY paella versus live catering
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.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Paella compared with other options
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Why book with us
- Fast service from the pan
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Drinks service on request
