Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Live paella or other catering?
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot paella keeps crew going. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.

Space, weather and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Pitch space for cooking and serving
- Flat, firm ground
As a London location, Plashet is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
