Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Questions from Calcott
Can you cook in Curtis Wood?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Can you cook near the sea around Calcott?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
