At a fête or field event near Brands Hill, a paella stall brings a hot, filling meal to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from 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 will do the cooking.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

What you get with us
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- A clear, itemised quote
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
