Common questions in Well
Is Well close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Well too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you need water?
Tell us what’s available at the pitch and we’ll confirm what we need.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
What documents can you send?
Send your requirements and we’ll include them with our application.
Space, weather and the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:

Why live cooking beats a buffet

The process
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. At midsummer, events in Well stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather

What else we do in Well
DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
- Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
- Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
