Organising a club, school or community event in Hedgerley Green? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Dishes our guests love
Mixed paella
Chicken and seafood together, and a popular all-rounder.
Paella Valenciana
The original paella from Valencia is a countryside dish of chicken and vegetables, rather than seafood. It’s a favourite with guests who don’t eat fish.
Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask for labels on each pan
- Let us know about other food at the event
- Plan a meat, a seafood and a vegetable or vegan pan
Paella is best eaten as soon as it’s ready, so we serve when guests are ready.
Need plates or staff? We can provide them.
How the day works
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell usually draws people over. In Hedgerley Green, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- You get a suggested menu and an itemised quote.
- On the day, we set up the burners and pans and get the stock going.
- The rice cooks in full view, while tapas or canapés go round.
- We serve from the pan, then clear our cooking area away.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
