How our paella catering works in Liverton Street
We cook every paella from scratch on the day, beginning with a sofrito of onion, garlic, peppers and tomato, followed by stock, saffron and rice. Popular choices include chicken and chorizo paella, black rice and paella Valenciana, and we are frequently booked for staff parties and work lunches and anniversaries and engagement parties.
Somewhere as small as Liverton Street, a garden or field is frequently the venue. Country lanes and long drives are no problem if we know about them, and cooking close to where we can park helps. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

The menu, dish by dish
Vegetable and vegan paella
A slow sofrito, seasonal vegetables and a good vegetable stock make a proper main dish. Vegan versions use plant-based stock.
Seafood paella
A rich seafood stock with prawns, mussels and squid, cooked until the rice is golden. It’s typically the most photographed pan.

How it works
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. In Liverton Street, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, 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.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with any tapas served first.
- It’s served straight from the pan, and we pack down afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather

DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Planning the cooking area
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Somewhere close to park and unload
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.
