DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Questions from Shreding Green
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Is Shreding Green close to London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Buckinghamshire included. Find your area.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Do you come to Shreding Green?
We do. We cook at events in Shreding Green and across Buckinghamshire. Send us your date to check availability.
How does live paella catering work?
We cook from scratch at your venue in big pans, in front of your guests, and serve straight from the pan.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
How it works
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. In Shreding Green, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, 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.
- Start with the date, the place and the numbers.
- We come back with paellas to suit your guests, plus any extras.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and the cooking spot.
- On the day we cook live, timed around your event.
- We serve, then leave our area tidy.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking

Planners, venues and businesses
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
What paella catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Whether you need crockery
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Where the event is
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Your date and when you want to eat

Seafood paella
Seafood paella starts with a good fish and shellfish stock. Shellfish goes in towards the end so it stays tender.

Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Plan a meat, a seafood and a vegetable or vegan pan
- Make sure most guests can sit to eat
- Put allergy details in writing
Let the paella rest for a few minutes before serving, and that’s when we invite guests up.
Finish with churros, crema catalana or tarta de Santiago.
