For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Step by step
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your party. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. Sunset in Blackmoor is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- We check your 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.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.

Live paella or other catering?
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
What you get with us
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment

Blackmoor questions
Which station should guests use for Blackmoor?
The closest is Liss station, roughly 3.5 miles away.
Is Blackmoor too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Frequently, yes. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
