Why choose live paella in The Moor?
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella just needs a suitable spot. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

About the dishes
Paella lunches
Two or three paellas served from the pan, quick to serve to a big team.
Bowl food
Paella in bowls for standing receptions.
Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

The Moor: your questions answered
Can you cook in Collingwood Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
