Working with your venue
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Surbiton Park? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Include any suppliers you’re feeding
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Enquire early for peak dates
- Count day and evening guests separately
We generally set up where guests can watch, which makes a lovely backdrop for photos.
Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.

The process
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. In Surbiton Park, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- 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 live and serve each course as planned.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
