What else we do in Broad Oak
How the day works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. In Broad Oak, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
Getting a price

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
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 for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

About the dishes
Paella lunches
