What’s in the pans
Canapé tapas
Canapés suit launches and client events.
Vegan and vegetarian pans
Cooked separately with their own stock.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Questions from Barton
How far is Barton from London?
About 51 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cook in Bury Knowle Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
What do you need at the venue?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Can staff get involved?
Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Talk to us about what you have in mind.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
