Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Langley Common: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Langley Common?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you trade at school fairs around Langley Common?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cook indoors?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.
How much is live paella catering?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Organising for someone else?
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
How it works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. Summer events in Langley Common have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
