Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Working with your venue

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
We can. Crew, volunteer and VIP catering is available, with or without a public stall.

How the day works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. At midsummer, events in Goodworth Clatford stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and documents.
- 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.
