Why live cooking beats a buffet
Most street food is cooked one order at a time. Paella is batch-cooked and served fast, so queues move quickly. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
How it works
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. Summer events in Shenington have daylight until about 9:30pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and paperwork.
- We set up on time.
- We cook in full view and serve all event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Plan cover in case of rain
