Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food vans can create long queues. Paella is served fast from the pan. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why us?
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Real theatre, not just catering

DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

- Get facilities approval early
- Let us know how long people have to eat
If timings change on the day, tell us and we’ll adapt.
