Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.

Organising for someone else?

Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- How many courses
- Parking and unloading
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Where the event is
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Expected numbers
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll suggest a menu. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
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. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Plan seating near the food area
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Book crew catering in advance
Our pitch is kept tidy and safe throughout the day.
