Why choose live paella in North Street?
A buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. Sunset in North Street is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
