Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food that sits in a hot cabinet isn’t much to look at. A giant pan cooking in view sells itself. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Your questions about festival paella catering in Newington Green
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Newington Green?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Is parking a problem for events in Newington Green?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will work around it.
Can you cook indoors?
Generally 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.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.

Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
