What happens on the day
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. December events in Banstead are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
How to prepare

What affects the price in Banstead
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- The paellas you choose
- How many guests are eating
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables

Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:
