What else we do in Staplers
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food vans can create long queues. Paella is served fast from the pan. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.

- Real theatre, not just catering
- Paella cooked from scratch on site

Step by step
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Staplers, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- We agree access and set-up with facilities.
- We cook live and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.

DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
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.
Staplers questions
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Could we have live paella in Seaclose Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, the Isle of Wight included. See all areas.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Can you invoice the company?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.
