Is live paella right for your event?
Food that sits in a hot cabinet isn’t much to look at. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- A clear, itemised quote
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment

- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Clear information on power, water and waste
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

FAQs for Albourne Green
Is Albourne Green too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cook at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do sangria?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Do you do crew catering?
Yes, timed to your schedule. Send us numbers and times.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is typically popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
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 for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
For event organisers in Albourne Green
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
