What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell typically draws people over. For a Christmas party in Barnsole, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.

Let us know what’s required, and we’ll send what you need.

What else we do in Barnsole
What affects the price in Barnsole
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Travel, parking and access
- Your choice of paellas
- How many guests are eating
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Where the event is
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. You can use our quote form.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.
