Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Access for unloading at set-up
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- The event’s site rules and timings
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How it works
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. At midsummer, events in Frogmore stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- You get our menu, pitch requirements and paperwork.
- We arrive at the agreed time to set up the pitch.
- Pans cook in full view and we serve throughout the event.
- We clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Why choose live paella in Frogmore?
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
