For event organisers in Roffey
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Your choice of paellas
- How many guests are eating
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Which courses you have in mind
- Your date and when you want to eat
- The address or venue name
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
Why choose live paella in Roffey?
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot paella keeps crew going. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
What you get with us
- Fast service from the pan
- A quote that spells everything out

How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests typically gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. Summer events in Roffey have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Plan cover in case of rain
