Broad Street questions
Can you cook near the sea around Broad Street?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Is Broad Street too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
How much paella per person?
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 need water?
Send pitch details and we’ll confirm.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. For an evening event in Broad Street, sunset is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

Vegan paella alongside the rest.
Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Access for unloading at set-up
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.
