Live paella or other catering?
Hog roasts do not suit vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
Why us?
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- A quote that spells everything out
- Drinks service on request

Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Have enough chairs for most guests
Kids are fascinated by the huge pans, from a safe distance.
Churros and chocolate go down well with all ages.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Space, weather and the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- A picture of the garden helps us check the space
- Somewhere close to park and unload
Norbiton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
