What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. For a late-May party in Chackmore, sunset is around 9:00pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:30pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How many courses
- Waiting and bar staff
- The number of people
- The length of service
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.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- The address or venue name
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, use our quote form.
Questions from Chackmore
Is Chackmore 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.
We are having a ceremony at Parish Church of St Mary: 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 normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Buckinghamshire included. Find your area.

When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
How early should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends, which fill up first. Check your date with us.
Can you do sangria?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
