For planners, venues and organisers
Throwing 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.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Is live paella right for your event?
Food that sits in a hot cabinet isn’t much to look at. A giant pan cooking in view sells itself. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why book with us
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch

Common questions in Lower Green
Is Lower Green close to London?
About 47 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station should guests use for Lower Green?
The closest is Liss station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what the event needs and we’ll send it with our application.
How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What about pudding?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
Do you cook inside?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
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 keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
