Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Somewhere close to park and unload
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Planning help
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
