Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
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.
What affects the price in Noke Common
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
For somewhere as remote as Noke Common, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Questions from Noke Common
Can you cook near the sea around Noke Common?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Is Noke Common too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
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.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
Yes. Paella is served straight from the pan, and we plan pans and serving points around your timings.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
Step by step
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. December events in Noke Common are in the dark from about 4:00pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella just needs a suitable spot. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
