Paella catering in Cox Green, cooked live
We cook every paella from scratch on the day, starting with a slow sofrito of onion, garlic, peppers and tomato, followed by stock, saffron and rice. We are frequently asked to cater christenings and family gatherings and leaving dos and retirements, serving vegetable paella, seafood paella and vegan paella.
In and around Cox Green, gardens and local halls are common choices. If access is tight, we will plan around it. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Step by step
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. Around midsummer it stays light in Cox Green until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is 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.
- Timings, access and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we set up and cook in front of your guests.
- We serve from the pan, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
