West Grinstead questions
How far is West Grinstead from London?
About 37 miles from central London.
Is West Grinstead too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Do you do desserts?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Paella compared with other options
Buffet food sits out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Prices and what affects them
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Parking and unloading
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- How many guests are eating
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Your date and when you want to eat
- A photo of the space, if you can

Planning the cooking area
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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 at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
