For planners, venues and organisers
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Organising a club, school or community event in Nettlebed? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
Should I cook it myself?
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. 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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
Nettlebed questions
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Nettlebed?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
What does corporate paella catering cost?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Do you work in winter?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. Hot paella in winter is popular.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
