Working with your venue

Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.

Step by step

Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. Summer events in Lane End have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.

  1. Send us your event details and pitch information.
  2. We send our menu, needs and paperwork.
  3. We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
  4. We cook and serve throughout.
  5. We pack down and tidy the pitch.

Should I cook it myself?

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

Before you choose a spot

Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:

  • Pitch space for cooking and serving
  • Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down
  • A pitch away from tents and structures

Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
