What happens on the day
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. December events in Wallingford are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot

Wallingford questions
Can you cook in Kinecroft?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Can you cook at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
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 cater in Wallingford?
Yes, we do. Wallingford is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Many offices have a courtyard, terrace or car park that works, if the building allows it.
How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
What’s in the pans
Vegan and vegetarian pans
A proper vegetarian or vegan main, not an afterthought.
Bowl food
Paella in bowls for standing receptions and networking events.
Planning the cooking area
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
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. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
