- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.

Questions from Fairseat
We’re having a ceremony at Holy Innocents: 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 usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Is Fairseat close to London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell, and it’s a good smell. Let the neighbours know.
Do you cook inside?
Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.
Why choose live paella in Fairseat?
If you want special but not formal, live paella fits perfectly. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
