  • Where the event is
  • The date and time of the event
  • Diets and allergies you know about

Catering for every guest

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Check the building or venue allows live cooking
  • Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
  • Ask staff about diets in advance
  • Share the timings for food

If timings change on the day, tell us and we will adapt.

Bar staff and sangria on request.

What happens on the day

We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. For a Christmas party in Burgess Hill, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
  3. We agree access and set-up with facilities.
  4. We cook live and serve on schedule.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Check the venue allows live cooking
  • Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
  • Tell us when you want to eat

DIY paella versus live catering

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

  • Cooked live in giant pans at your event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
  • Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
  • Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
