Paella compared with other options
For a stall that adds atmosphere, a paella pan delivers. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
What you get with us
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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’ll do the cooking.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Your choice of paellas
- Parking and unloading
- The length of service
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Expected numbers
- Which courses you have in mind
- Anything your venue supplies
- A picture of where we’d cook
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Common questions in Chilton Green
Is Chilton Green too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cook near the sea around Chilton Green?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Can we book you as a trader?
Tell us about your event, and we’ll confirm availability and requirements.
What paperwork do you provide?
Share your trader requirements and we will respond.
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.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Chilton Green.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
Big batches and service from the pan keep things moving.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
How the day works
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. Summer events in Chilton Green have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 4:05pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm what we’ll serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
- We arrive at the agreed time to set up the pitch.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- At the end, we clear our pitch.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Tell us when you want to eat
