About paella catering in HP6
Paella has always been food for a crowd: cooked outdoors in a wide, shallow pan and shared. That’s what we bring to events in HP6. Typical bookings include anniversary celebrations and birthday celebrations, with black rice, chicken and chorizo paella and vegetable paella.
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand.
- Start with the date, the place and the numbers.
- We come back with paellas to suit your guests, plus any extras.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and the cooking spot.
- On the day we cook live, timed around your event.
- Guests are served from the pan, and our area is cleared afterwards.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Paella compared with other options
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and typically costs more per head. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission to cook, and it is entertaining too.
What your quote should include
- Whether crockery, cutlery and napkins are included
- What happens if it rains
- The venue requirements
- Exactly what’s included in the price
Diets, allergies and planning
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ensure each pan is labelled
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Ensure most guests can sit to eat
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
Paella is best eaten as soon as it’s ready, so we serve when guests are ready.
Finish with churros, crema catalana or tarta de Santiago.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
