Paella compared with other options
If you want special but not formal, live paella fits perfectly. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

What happens on the day

Woodside Green: your questions answered
Can you cook at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
How far is Woodside Green from London?
About 39 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
There’s a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue, and it is a good smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
