Canapés, bowl food and desserts can be added, and we will work with your venue on access, timings and paperwork. For team-building events and christmas parties, we can cook bowl food, paella lunches and canapé tapas.
At country venues around West End, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. For a Christmas party in West End, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Share the running order, including any speeches
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Planning the cooking area
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Somewhere close to park and unload
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before you book.

West End questions
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
How far is West End from London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.

Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:

- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Travel, parking and access
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
