How the day works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell generally draws people over. In Sutton Courtenay, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
What affects the price in Sutton Courtenay
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- The length of service
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you need crockery
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The venue or postcode
