Broxhill questions
Do you come out to small places like Broxhill?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including Hampshire. See all areas.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you do crew catering?
Yes. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Is live paella right for your event?
Burger stalls are common. Paella adds something different in a food line-up. Larger events typically cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

About the dishes
Chicken & chorizo paella
A crowd-pleaser for meat eaters.
Giant paella pans
The giant pan is the star.
DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
How the day works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. Evening events in Broxhill have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
