Join us midweek for a true taste of Spain, as we bring our signature, authentic paella to life over an open flame. From smoky chorizo and prawns to roasted seasonal vegetables, our paellas are made for sharing and bursting with flavour.

Authentic paella is all about flavour, fire, and finesse. At Mila’s, our chefs honour Spanish tradition by cooking over open flame.

The magic lies in the socarrat – the golden crust formed at the base of the pan that brings depth and texture to every bite.

We use premium local produce and classic ingredients – saffron-infused rice, succulent prawns and mussels, rich chorizo and fresh vegetables.

It’s rustic yet refined, cooked with care and made for sharing – the true spirit of paella brought to life in Essex.

What Makes an Authentic Paella?

The Mila's Signature Paella Evening

Each Wednesday, Mila’s transforms into a lively Spanish bistro, serving a menu that celebrates authenticity with flair.

Choose from Chicken Paella with smoky chorizo and ’nduja, Mixed Paella with prawns and mussels, or our vibrant Vegan Paella packed with roasted peppers, chilli, and fresh greens.

Every dish is cooked to order over flame and served straight from the pan.

Paella night at Mila’s is more than a meal – it’s a unique dining experience filled with colour, warmth, and the unmistakable aroma of charcoal-grilled flavour.

Our Paella Ingredients

We believe great food starts with great ingredients. Our paellas are made using high-quality, locally sourced produce, selected for freshness and flavour.

From sustainable seafood and the finest cuts of meat, to vibrant vegetables and aromatic saffron, everything is chosen with care.

Cooking over an open flame naturally enhances these ingredients – adding smokiness, caramelisation and depth that can’t be replicated.

At Mila’s, every detail matters, from the olive oil we select to the rice we prepare. It’s our way of honouring tradition while delivering something truly extraordinary.

“Mila’s is more than just a restaurant – it’s a celebration of flame-cooked Mediterranean flavour, made with care, creativity and love.”

Dan Binge – Head Chef
