About paella catering in EN1
One cooking area feeds a lot of people, very little goes to waste, and the food is served hot. That’s why it works for so many events. Popular choices include vegan paella, mixed paella and paella Valenciana, and we are frequently booked for fairs, fêtes and festivals and weddings, from canapés to evening food.
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down.
- You tell us the date, venue, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- You get a suggested menu and an itemised quote.
- On the day, we set up the burners and pans and get the stock going.
- The paella cooks in front of your guests, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- We serve from the pan, then clear our cooking area away.

The menu, dish by dish
Seafood paella
The secret is a well-made seafood stock. The shellfish is added late so it stays tender.
Paella Valenciana
The original paella from Valencia is a countryside dish of chicken and vegetables, rather than seafood. It is often the most popular pan at an event.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Pick a mix of paellas to cover every diet
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
The rice takes about 20 minutes once it goes in, so we time it carefully. If plans change, tell us and we’ll adjust.
Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana finish the meal, or serve your own cake.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site

FAQs for EN1
Is paella a full meal?
Paella is a meal in itself. Many hosts add tapas first or dessert after.
How long do you need on site?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
