Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. For a Christmas party in Budlett's Common, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Larger events usually cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
