For event organisers in Boarhunt
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
How it works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s served at its best. December events in Boarhunt are in the dark from about 4:00pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- We agree access and set-up with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Before we arrive
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Tell us where to park and unload

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
