Catering for every guest
With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs

For event organisers in Mogador
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Space, weather and the venue
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Do you cater in Mogador?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Mogador and across Surrey. Send us your date to check availability.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Choosing between paella and a traditional menu?, think about your venue, your guests’ diets and the feel of the day. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.

How it works
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. For a summer wedding in Mogador, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- 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
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Leave space around the cooking area
