Paella catering in Easington, cooked live
Paella was made for feeding a crowd: cooked outdoors in a wide, shallow pan and shared. That is what we bring to events in Easington. On the menu are black rice, mixed paella and paella Valenciana, and we are regularly asked to cater wedding breakfasts and evening food and family celebrations and christenings.
Somewhere as small as Easington, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes and long drives are no problem if we know about them, and a firm spot near where we park makes set-up easier. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it’s ready.

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh. Evenings in Easington stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; after dark, the cooking and serving areas need good lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and how many.
- We come back with paellas to suit your guests, plus any extras.
- A week or so before, we confirm the plan.
- On the day we cook live, timed around your event.
- We serve, then leave our area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Ensure we can park close by to unload

How do you work out quantities?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
Do you cook it at the event?

- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
After service, we pack down our cooking area.
