Paella catering across RM1
Paella has always been food for a crowd: cooked in the open in a big, shallow pan and shared straight from it. That is exactly what we bring to your event in RM1. Typical bookings include staff parties and work lunches and garden parties and summer barbecues, serving black rice, chicken and chorizo paella and mixed paella.
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the cooking spot.
- On the day, we set up and cook in front of your guests.
- We serve from the pan, then pack down.
Cost
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

For event organisers in RM1
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Occasions we cook for in RM1
There is no kitchen needed, so it works in gardens, fields and marquees where other catering struggles.
These are some of the occasions we cater:
- Retirement celebrations
- Milestone birthday parties
- Christenings and family gatherings
- Engagement and anniversary parties
Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ensure most guests can sit to eat
- Tell us what else is being served
- Ask about diets and allergies on your invitation or RSVP
- Give us separate numbers for children
Paella is at its best straight from the pan, so we plan service for when guests are ready to eat.
Add canapé tapas with the drinks or table tapas as a starter while the paella cooks.
What’s in the pans
Mixed paella
Mixed paella brings meat and seafood together.
Vegetable and vegan paella
A vegetable paella isn’t an afterthought: peppers, artichokes and beans with saffron, cooked in its own pan.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
RM1 questions
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Can paella be the only main course?
It can be. Paella with bread and salad makes a full main course, and tapas or dessert can be added.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Can you cook indoors?
Typically we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
What happens with live paella?
We bring everything needed to cook on site, cook in front of your guests, and serve at the time you want.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
