Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
FAQs for Stubbles
Do you come out to small places like Stubbles?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Stubbles close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Can staff get involved?
Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Tell us what you’d like.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll make a plan B with you.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, subject to the building’s rules.

Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your work event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- What the venue already provides
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Expected numbers

Live paella or other catering?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.

- A quote that spells everything out

The process
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Stubbles, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
