About paella catering in TN33
Paella is generous food: giant pans, saffron colour and a toasted crust that everyone fights over. It makes the food an event in itself. We are often asked to cater fairs, fêtes and festivals and weddings, from canapés to evening food, serving paella Valenciana, vegan paella and mixed paella.
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you are free to enjoy your event. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and how many.
- We come back with paellas to suit your guests, plus any extras.
- Closer to the day, we confirm timings and the cooking spot.
- We set up, cook from scratch and keep an eye on your timings.
- We serve, then leave our area tidy.

What’s in the pans
Seafood paella
Prawns, mussels and squid in a rich fish stock, cooked until the rice is golden. It’s the pan people photograph.
Black rice
Squid ink rice is bold and savoury, and is popular with adventurous guests.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Organising for someone else?
Organising a club, school or community event in TN33? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

TN33: your questions answered
What seafood can we have?
Seafood choices are agreed when we plan the menu.
What is live paella catering?
We set up a cooking area at your venue, cook the paella from scratch in large pans while your guests watch, and serve it straight from the pan.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including East Sussex. See all areas.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Does paella work for big events?
Yes. Large pans and fast service from the pan make it well suited to crowds.
