How it works
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. For a Christmas party in Newtimber, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
- You get a menu, a price and documents.
- We agree access and set-up with facilities.
- We cook live and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Why choose live paella in Newtimber?
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella just needs a suitable spot. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before you book.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

Newtimber questions
Is Newtimber too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Newtimber from London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How does payment work for businesses?
We will explain booking and payment when you enquire.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
What do you need at the venue?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
