Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.

It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan for them.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Bullbrook.
What space do you need to cook?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.

Is live paella right for your event?
A cold buffet is simple but has no theatre, and food can sit out for a while. Paella is cooked in front of your guests and served hot. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why Bullbrook hosts choose us
- Drinks service on request
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Everything cooked fresh at your event

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

How we price paella catering
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How long we are needed on site
- How many guests are eating
- How many staff you need

Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.

Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Request clear labels at the serving table
- Ensure most guests can sit to eat
Let the paella rest for a few minutes before serving, and that is when we invite guests up.
Need plates or staff? We can provide them.
Step by step
Watching it cook is half the fun. 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. Evenings in Bullbrook stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it’s dark, we need light to cook and serve by.
- Send us your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan a menu that covers every diet.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- The paella cooks as guests gather round.
- Service is straight from the pan, then we pack down.
