How the day works
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. For an evening event in Furze Platt, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- We set up our burners and pans.

Furze Platt questions
Could we have live paella in Braywick Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Furze Platt?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you need power?
Let us know what the pitch has and we will confirm our needs.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.

Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Give traders a single information pack
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Schedule crew meals
We set up at the agreed time, following your trader pack.
Catering for crew and VIP areas.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
What we need at the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down
- A pitch away from tents and structures
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
