Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
The menu, dish by dish
Evening paella
Paella makes great evening food, especially after a few hours on the dance floor.
Table tapas
A tapas starter gets tables talking.
FAQs for Foreland Fields
Is Foreland Fields too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
We’re having a ceremony at Saint Luke: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How much is live paella catering?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. At midsummer, sunset in Foreland Fields is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
