Step by step
Here’s how the day normally runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. In Akeley, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Ensure we can park close by to unload

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
