Working with your venue
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Upper Wield? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.

How the day 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 Upper Wield, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm what we will serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
- We set up at the agreed time.
- We cook in front of the crowd and serve from the pan all event.
- At the end, we clear our pitch.
Before we arrive
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Have a level space ready for the pans
