A country party near Hatchet Green is perfect for paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Have a gazebo ready in case of rain. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Step by step
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. Sunset in Hatchet Green is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.

Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
DIY catering saves money but costs you time. With live paella, you’re a guest too. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
