Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food vans can create long queues. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

Common questions in Castle Green
Can you cook in Milford Green and Coxhill Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Is Castle Green too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
Is halal food available?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Planning the cooking area
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.
