Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Make sure most people can sit to eat
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Give separate numbers for children
When you’re ready to eat, we serve straight from the pan.
Add bread, salad and lemon.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Paella compared with other options
For a party that feels a little special without being formal, live paella is hard to beat. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

How it works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. A summer party in Sun Rising stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

What affects the price in Sun Rising
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Parking and unloading
- The paellas you choose
- The number of people
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The date and time of the event
- Diets and allergies you know about
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll come back with a clear quote.

Sun Rising questions
Is Sun Rising too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Should we have more than one paella?
Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.

We cover London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. Find your area.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
