How it works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. Evening events in Redford have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and paperwork.

- We cook and serve throughout.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
How to prepare

DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Live paella or other catering?
Burger stalls are common. A paella pan stands out. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
What you get with us
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Drinks service on request
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- We cover Redford and the whole of West Sussex
