When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell generally draws people over. At midsummer, sunset in Great Coxwell is about 9:30pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.

Is Great Coxwell too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Will you talk to our venue?
Of course. We’ll speak to your venue about access and timings.

For planners, venues and organisers

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Live paella or other catering?
Choosing between paella and a traditional menu?, think about your venue, your guests’ diets and the feel of the day. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
