How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
How the day works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Abbots Worthy, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
