Working with your venue
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
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.
Questions from Radclive
Is Radclive too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St John: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Buckinghamshire included. Find your area.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
How many different paellas?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
There’s a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue, and it is a good smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Check the venue allows live cooking.

The process
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. For a late-May party in Radclive, sunset is around 9:00pm; at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.

The menu, dish by dish
Vegetable paella
A proper vegetable paella, not an afterthought, with peppers, beans and artichokes.
Chicken & chorizo paella
It is one of the most popular pans at parties.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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 be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Live paella or other catering?
Cooking yourself saves money but costs you the party. With live paella, you are a guest too. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- A quote that spells everything out
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
