The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. December events in Three Mills are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

FAQs for Three Mills

Is parking a problem for events in Three Mills?

It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.

Can you cook in Bob's Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.

How much space do you need?

Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.

Can you do a team-building activity?

Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Tell us what you’d like.

Do you take everything away?

We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.

How soon do we need to book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

Can the paella be cooked in a hall?

Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.

When do you arrive?

It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.

Why choose live paella in Three Mills?

Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

Why us?

  • No hidden extras in your quote
  • Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
  • Every diet catered for, pan by pan
  • Fast service from the pan

See Our prices page Or Our guide to catering costs.

Diets, allergies and planning

Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:

  • Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
  • Let us know how long people have to eat
  • Think about shade and seating
  • Have water and soft drinks available

Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls, so guests can network while they eat.

Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.

Organising for someone else?

Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
