Step by step
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. After-work summer parties in Southwick have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
How to prepare
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

Two or three paellas served from the pan, quick to serve to a big team.

Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- How many guests are eating
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
