How it works
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. December events in Upton are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Tell us where to park and unload

Common questions in Upton
Is Upton too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Upton from London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
How much is live paella catering?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.
Can the team help cook?
Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Talk to us about what you have in mind.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
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.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
What we need at the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Facilities approval and any site rules
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.
