The process

Your timings come first. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it is served at its best. After-work summer parties in Beech Hill have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
  2. We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
  3. Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
  4. The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
  5. Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.

How to prepare

  • Ensure we can park close by to unload
  • Give us your final numbers and diets
  • Arrange a covered spot for wet weather

What’s in the pans

Paella lunches

A paella lunch feeds a team fast, with every diet covered.

Bowl food

Bowl food lets guests eat while they mingle.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
