Birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and summer get-togethers all suit live paella. The pans become the focal point, and the food is served hot and generous. We cook vegetable paella, seafood paella and churros, and we are often booked for christenings and naming days and wakes and celebrations of life.

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Send a photo of the garden so we can check
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The paellas you choose
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- How many staff you need
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- The venue or postcode
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Unlike a barbecue, paella is ready at once, so nobody waits for the next batch. And there’s no host stuck at the grill. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Redford: your questions answered
Can you cook at venues in the South Downs National Park?

How far is Redford from London?
About 44 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is paella OK for kids?
Of course. Children typically love a plain chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.

We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Do you cater in Redford?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Redford and across West Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
How it works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your party. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. Sunset in Redford is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.
- We check your date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
