For event organisers in Rudmore
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Organising a club, school or community event in Rudmore? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Give us diet totals and allergy details
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events

Questions from Rudmore
How far is Rudmore from London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London.
Could we have live paella in Alexandra Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Teams frequently enjoy watching and asking questions. Tell us what you’d like.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
