Paella party catering in Rew Street, cooked live
Paella is made for relaxed parties: it’s served from the pan and shared, so nobody needs a formal seating plan. On the menu are churros, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and we are regularly asked to cater retirement and leaving parties and milestone birthdays.
A country party near Rew Street is perfect for paella: cooked in the open and served hot. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

Questions from Rew Street
We are having a ceremony at All Saints' Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Can you cook near the sea around Rew Street?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Do you do desserts?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Usually, yes, if there is a flat, open spot away from fences and branches. Send us a picture of the space.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Travel, parking and access
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- The number of people
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Your date and when you want to eat
- The address or venue name
- The courses you’d like
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Space, weather and the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
For somewhere as remote as Rew Street, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.

About the dishes
Churros
All ages love churros.
Vegetable paella
Vegetarians get a real main course, and meat eaters frequently try it too.
How the day works
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. At midsummer, it’s light in Rew Street until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- Guests gather round as it cooks, nibbling tapas if you’ve booked them.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we’re done.
How to prepare
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Cooking yourself saves money but costs you the party. With live paella, you are a guest too. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
