Questions to ask before booking
- How dietary needs and allergies are handled
- How bad weather is handled
- A clear list of what’s included
- What the caterer needs from your venue
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. After-work summer parties in Adgestone have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Ensure we can park close by to unload

How much paella per person?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.

Do you do desserts?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.

Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
That is one of paella’s strengths. Share the timings and we’ll plan for them.
