The process

Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. In Pease Pottage, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
  2. We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
  3. We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
  5. Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.

Before we arrive

  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot

DIY paella versus live catering

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

For planners, venues and organisers

Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.

Why choose live paella in Pease Pottage?

Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella is an event in itself. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

Why us?

  • Hot food served quickly from the pan
  • Live cooking, not reheated food
  • Drinks service on request
  • Crockery and waiting staff if you need them

Prices and what affects them

These are the factors that matter most:

  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff

  • The venue or postcode
  • A picture of the space, if you can
  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
  • Anything your venue supplies

Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
