DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Is live paella right for your work event?
Sandwiches are easy but forgettable. Live paella is an event in itself. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What you get with us
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests

Can you cook in Rye Harbour LNR?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.

About 52 miles from central London.

How much does corporate paella catering cost in Rye?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can staff get involved?
Mention it in your enquiry, and we’ll discuss what’s possible at your venue.
How does payment work for businesses?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.

Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan for them.
For planners, venues and organisers
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
How it works
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. December events in Rye are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
