What affects the price in Mindenhurst
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Waiting and bar staff
- Timings and hours
- Distance and access to the venue
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Which courses you have in mind
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff

Mindenhurst questions
Is Mindenhurst close to London?
About 29 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Mindenhurst too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Do you have the documents we need?
Send us your list.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.

How the day works
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell typically draws people over. For an evening event in Mindenhurst, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
