Working with your venue
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. At midsummer, events in Gillette Corner stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- You get our menu, pitch requirements and paperwork.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We cook in front of the crowd and serve from the pan all event.
- At the end, we clear our pitch.
How to prepare
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Share the running order, including any speeches
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.

What you get with us
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Everything cooked fresh at your event

DIY paella versus live catering
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
