Why live cooking beats a buffet

Buffet food sits out. Paella is served hot as soon as it’s ready. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before you book.

What you get with us

  • Waiting staff and crockery on request
  • Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
  • Fast service from the pan
  • Starters and desserts to complete the menu

  • Team-building events
  • Client and customer events

Our caterer checklist

Common questions in St Helier

What’s the nearest station to St Helier for guests?

Sutton Common station, about 0.8 miles south-west of the centre.

What about parking in St Helier?

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll plan unloading around it.

Do you cater in St Helier?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, and St Helier is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, use our quote form.

Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?

We can. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.

How much paella per person?

We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.

How much is live paella catering?

Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a price.

How many paellas should we have?

Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.

What happens if it rains?

We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.

Planning for every diet

Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:

  • Find out what paperwork the venue needs
  • Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
  • Tell us how long the food break is
  • Give us diet totals and allergy details

We adapt if timings change.

Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff available.

Working with your venue

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.

About the dishes

Paella lunches

A choice of paellas, quick to serve to a big team.

Bowl food

Bowl food lets guests eat while they mingle.

Should I cook it myself?

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

What corporate paella catering costs

The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

  • Timings and hours
  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • The paellas you choose

There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

What we need to know

For a quote, it helps to have:

  • Your date and when you want to eat
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
  • The address or venue name
  • A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field

We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. You can use our quote form.

How it works

Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. In St Helier, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
  2. You get a menu, a price and documents.
  3. Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
  4. We cook live and serve on schedule.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
  • Name one person we can ask on the day
  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area
