Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
The pans are frequently set up where guests can see them, and it makes a great photo.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.

Why choose live paella in Gosford?
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests. Separate paella pans cover every diet. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
Why Gosford hosts choose us
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Paella cooked from scratch on site

Working with your venue
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
How it works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you are free to enjoy your wedding. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. At midsummer, sunset in Gosford is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 9:00pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Tell us where to park and unload
