Live paella or other catering?

Most stalls cook to order. Paella is batch-cooked and served fast, keeping queues short. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

Why us?

  • Events in Littleton and across Surrey
  • A clear, itemised quote
  • Fast service from the pan
  • Live cooking, not reheated food

What happens on the day

Once the rice is in, we don’t 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. Summer events in Littleton have daylight until about 9:20pm 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. You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
  2. You get our menu, pitch requirements and paperwork.
  3. On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
  4. Pans cook in full view and we serve throughout the event.
  5. At the end, we clear our pitch.

Before we arrive

  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
  • Tell us when you want to eat

Planning help

Organising for someone else?

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
