Is live paella right for your event?
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and typically costs more per head. Live paella needs only a level, ventilated spot and permission to cook, and it’s entertaining too. 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.
Why us?
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Served hot, straight from the pan

About our paella catering in Bradville
The cooking is half the fun. Guests gather round as the sofrito sizzles and the saffron colours the rice, and the aroma does the rest. Typical bookings include weddings, from canapés to evening food and office lunches and staff parties, with black rice, mixed paella and vegan paella.
For a place the size of Bradville, your own garden is frequently the best venue: no hire fees, and live paella feeds everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. Let us know about access to the house. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Common questions in Bradville
Is Bradville close to London?
About 49 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook in Campbell Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring all the cooking equipment. Tell us what the venue provides, such as tables or crockery.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Which paella is most popular?
Most events choose two or three: a mixed or chicken paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. See the sample menu.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
About the dishes
Vegetable and vegan paella
A slow sofrito, seasonal vegetables and a good vegetable stock make a paella that stands on its own. For vegans, the stock is plant-based.
Mixed paella
Mixed paella brings meat and seafood together, and it’s often the first pan to empty.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss. In Bradville, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get a menu and an itemised quote.
- We agree timings, access and the cooking spot.
- On the day, we set up and cook in front of your guests.
- It is served straight from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
For event organisers in Bradville
Organising a club, school or community event in Bradville? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Count adults and children separately
- Mention any other courses or food
- Request clear labels at the serving table
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
The rice takes about 20 minutes once it goes in, so we start it at the right moment for your event. If timings shift, we adapt.
Tapas or canapés make a good start as the rice cooks.
