How it works
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. For an evening event in Silverhill, sunset is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.

Paella compared with other options
Food that sits in a hot cabinet isn’t much to look at. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before you book.
Why Silverhill hosts choose us
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu

Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- The length of service
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Parking and unloading
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
