Bury questions
Do you come out to small places like Bury?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cook at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
Do you cater for children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what you need and we’ll include it in the quote.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.

Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Have bins ready
- Count adults and children separately
- Warn the neighbours
- Have enough chairs for most guests
When you’re ready to eat, we serve straight from the pan.
Tapas and nibbles while the paella cooks keep hunger at bay.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.

The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. For a late-May party in Bury, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- Guests gather round as it cooks, nibbling tapas if you’ve booked them.
- It’s served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
