Your questions about paella party catering in Leverton
Is Leverton 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’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: 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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is paella OK for kids?
Most children enjoy paella, particularly a simple chicken pan. Tell us how many and their ages.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
What do you need at the venue?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
What we need at the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
