Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
We adapt if timings change.

Bowl food lets guests eat while they mingle.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Questions from Thorney
Do you come out to small places like Thorney?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Is Thorney close to London?
About 17 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Thorney.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
