The process
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. Sunset in Foscot is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

Common questions in Foscot
Do you come out to small places like Foscot?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Leonard: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
What about pudding?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is usually popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Generally. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Plan seats for most guests
- Let the neighbours know
Booked staff help serve and clear.
Sangria sets the mood.
Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
