How it works
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. At midsummer, it’s light in West Green until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- We serve it hot from the pan, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot

Why live cooking beats a buffet
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
Why us?
- A quote that spells everything out
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Fast service from the pan

Could we have live paella in Downhills Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Does it make plenty of smoke?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell, and it’s a good smell. Let the neighbours know.
How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Is paella OK for kids?
Most children enjoy paella, particularly a simple chicken pan. Tell us how many and their ages.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
When should I book?
As early as you can for summer weekends, which fill up first. Check your date with us.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Many gardens work. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. Send us a picture.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Have bins ready
- Warn the neighbours
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Give separate numbers for children
If you’ve booked staff, they’ll help serve and clear so you can relax.
