Why live cooking beats a buffet
Buffets can mean food sitting for a while. Paella is served hot from the pan. 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 book with us
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Fast service from the pan
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available

- Travel, parking and access

The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Bulverhythe? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
The process
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. In Bulverhythe, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
Ask for a quote

Bulverhythe: your questions answered
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Could we have live paella in Filsham Reedbed?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including East Sussex. Find your area.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.
Will you talk to our venue?
Yes, it makes life easier. Introduce us and we’ll sort the details.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. 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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
