Live paella or other catering?
A buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.

Paella party catering in Sibford Gower, cooked live
Most gardens can host a paella party, as long as there’s a flat spot clear of fences and branches. Not sure? Send a photo. On the menu are tapas, chicken and chorizo paella and churros, and typical bookings are for family get-togethers and wakes and memorial gatherings.
In a small place like Sibford Gower, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the set-up. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Questions from Sibford Gower
Do you come out to small places like Sibford Gower?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
Space, weather and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- A photo of the garden helps us check the space
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
