Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria, yes, plus bar staff for your own drinks.
The process
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. Evening receptions in Muddles Green stay light until about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
- Tell us the date, venue and numbers.
- We suggest a selection and a quote.
- We set up and finish the hot dishes.
- Canapés go round or tapas go to the tables.
- We clear our equipment afterwards.
Getting ready for the day

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
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.
Why choose live paella in Muddles Green?
Tapas can be a starter, a reception or the whole meal, so they fit most plans. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Why Muddles Green hosts choose us
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
