Your questions about corporate paella catering in West Langdon
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
What’s the nearest station to West Langdon for guests?
The closest is Martin Mill station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Do you take everything away?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.

Live paella or other catering?
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella is served fast from the pan. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

What else we do in West Langdon
DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Space, weather and the venue
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Step by step
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell usually draws people over. For a Christmas party in West Langdon, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
