Why live cooking beats a buffet
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. Live paella needs only a level, ventilated spot and permission to cook, and gives guests something to watch. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- A clear, itemised quote
- Waiting staff and crockery on request

Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Ask about diets and allergies on your invitation or RSVP
- Tell us what else is being served
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you or your venue about timings.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges make the meal go further and suit guests who aren’t big rice eaters.
What happens on the day
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Row Town, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Share the running order, including any speeches
