Why choose live paella in Midhurst?
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella just needs a suitable spot. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Why Midhurst hosts choose us
- A clear, itemised quote
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Real theatre, not just catering
What happens on the day
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. After-work summer parties in Midhurst have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- We check the date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.

Planning help
Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
What we offer
- Desserts
- Paella lunches
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
- Bowl food
- Canapé tapas
- Drinks service
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
