Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Nately Scures? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Is live paella right for your event?
Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.

FAQs for Nately Scures
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Nately Scures?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How far is Nately Scures from London?
About 42 miles from central London.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Is halal food available?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
What documents can you send?
Tell us what the event needs and we will send it with our application.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.
DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

Step by step
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. At midsummer, events in Nately Scures stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Give us your final numbers and diets
