What happens on the day
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. At midsummer, it’s light in Bodle Street Green until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- It’s served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Bodle Street Green: your questions answered
Can you cook at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is Bodle Street Green too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan for them.
Does it make a lot of smoke?
Paella is cooked over gas, so there is cooking steam and smell but little smoke. The smell is typically the best advert for the party.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Distance and access to the venue
- The number of people
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How long we’re needed on site
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
