Planning the cooking area

Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:

  • Access for unloading near the cooking spot
  • Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
  • Level ground for the pans and burners

How it works

Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. December events in Rotherbridge are in the dark from about 4:00pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
  2. We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
  3. We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
  4. The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
  5. We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.

Before we arrive

  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area
  • Share the running order, including any speeches
  • Tell us where to park and unload

  • Guest numbers
  • Timings and hours
  • The paellas you choose

There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

Getting an accurate quote

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:

  • What the venue already provides
  • A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
  • Where the event is
  • Expected numbers

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.

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

  • Cooked live in giant pans at your event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
  • Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
  • Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
