How the day works
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For a Christmas party in Piddinghoe, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Piddinghoe
Could we have live paella in Castle Hill?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
How far is Piddinghoe from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Can we pay by invoice?
Let us know your company’s process, and we will explain how we work.
Space, weather and the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Organising for someone else?
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Parking and unloading
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
