Questions from Water Eaton
Could we have live paella in Waterhall Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
How far is Water Eaton from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
We can. Paella is served straight from the pan, and we plan pans and serving points around your timings.
Can you bring crockery?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
What does corporate paella catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Milton Keynes. Find your area.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

What corporate paella catering costs
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Parking and unloading
- How many courses
- How many staff you need
- The number of people
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

- The date and rough timings
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. Start when you are ready: use our quote form.
