Live paella or other catering?
Most stalls cook to order. Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, keeping queues short. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Why book with us
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- A clear, itemised quote
- Drinks service on request
- Live cooking, not reheated food

The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. At midsummer, events in South Newington stay light until about 9:30pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
