Space, weather and the venue
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:

- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.

We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it is served at its best. In Woodley, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.
Preparing for the day

About the dishes
Vegan and vegetarian pans
Separate pans with plant-based stock.
Canapé tapas
Bite-sized tapas carried round by staff.
Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Parking and unloading
- How many staff you need
- The number of people
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before booking.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The date and rough timings
- The address or venue name
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- A picture of the space, if you can
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: give us the basics about your work event, and we will make suggestions. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
Why book with us
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
