Other catering in Thornton Heath
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
The space is left clean and tidy.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff available.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why book with us
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Fast service from the pan
- A clear, itemised quote
How it works
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. After-work summer parties in Thornton Heath have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
How to prepare
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
Getting a price
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
