Team away days in the countryside around Shenley suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Tell us how long the food break is
We serve at the agreed time, whether that is a lunch break or an evening party.

How it works
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. After-work summer parties in Shenley have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
- We cook live and serve on schedule.
- We clear our area and leave it clean.
Preparing for the day
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Sandwiches are easy but forgettable. Live paella is an event in itself. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
