Do you cook it at the event?

Do you cook at halls and clubs?

Frequently, yes. We need a suitable spot and the venue’s agreement.

Is the paella gluten-free?

We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.

Can you cook halal paella?

Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we’ll cook a separate pan.

For planners, venues and organisers

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

  • The venue’s permission for live cooking
  • Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable

Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
