The process
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a Christmas party in Betsham, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Getting ready for the day

We adapt if timings change.

DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
