How it works
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. For a Christmas party in Atherington, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

- We cook live and serve on schedule.

Planning help
DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
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.
What affects the price in Atherington
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- The paellas you choose
- Guest numbers
- Timings and hours
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
