Work events need fast, inclusive food that keeps people talking. Live paella ticks every box. On the menu are bowl food, vegan and vegetarian paella and paella lunches, and we are often booked for team-building days and product launches and open days.
Team away days in the countryside around Sutton suit live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Questions from Sutton
What’s the nearest station to Sutton for guests?
Hanborough station, about 4.9 miles north of the centre.
How far is Sutton from London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you work in winter?
Yes, where the venue has a covered, ventilated space to cook. December dates go fast.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. 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.

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.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Sutton? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.

- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
