The process
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a Christmas party in South Bank, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Have a level space ready for the pans
Getting a price
Send us the date, your venue or SE1 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.

Planning the cooking area
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
As a London location, South Bank is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
