How it works
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. Golden-hour photos in Sibford Ferris at midsummer come around 9:30pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 9:00pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
What’s in the pans
Evening paella
Paella makes great evening food.
Desserts
Churros with chocolate, crema catalana or tarta de Santiago, or your cake as dessert.
Why choose live paella in Sibford Ferris?
