- The address or venue name
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
How it works
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. Sunset in Sudbury Hill 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.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.

Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Count adults and children separately
- Make sure most people can sit to eat
- Have bins ready
The cooking area stays tidy and safe, with space kept clear around the burners.
Plates, cutlery and waiting staff can be added.

Could we have live paella in Preston Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
