How the day works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a Christmas party in Watermill, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- We check the date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot

Paella compared with other options
For catering that is part of the event, live paella is a strong choice. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Fast service from the pan

Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you need crockery

Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

Watermill questions
Can you cook near the sea around Watermill?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Is Watermill too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Do you cover Watermill?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Watermill. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Can you invoice the company?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
How do you work out quantities?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
