What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

How it works
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. Evening receptions in Deepcut stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and serving style.
- We put together a tapas selection and a quote.
- On the day, we set up and prepare the hot tapas there.
- We serve canapés with drinks or set table tapas down to share.
- We pack down when service ends.
How to prepare
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Give us a contact for the day

Planning help
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Catering for every guest
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies
- Match tapas with Spanish drinks
- Widen the selection for a tapas-only menu
- Ensure dishes are labelled
Tapas go out to the tables.
Serving boards and crockery.

Working with your venue
Throwing a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Is live paella right for your event?
Generic canapés all look the same. Tapas bring something different. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
