Questions from Broadwater
Could we have live paella in Beach House Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Is Broadwater close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Do you cater in Broadwater?
Yes, we do. Broadwater is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
What do you need at the pitch?
Tell us what’s available at the pitch and we’ll confirm what we need.
Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you’re ready to eat. At midsummer, events in Broadwater stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

What else we do in Broadwater
DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
