Questions from Beal's Green
We are having a ceremony at Church of All Saints: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Is Beal's Green too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Can you supply crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what you need and we’ll include it in the quote.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Typically. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
How early should we book?
Early for summer weekends. Check your date with us.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Count adults and children separately
When you’re ready to eat, we serve straight from the pan.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges round off the meal.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The paellas you choose
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- The length of service
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

The process
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. A summer party in Beal's Green stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- In goes the rice, and guests gather.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
