Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

For event organisers in Chicheley

For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.

Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella is an event in itself. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.

Our caterer checklist

What happens on the day

On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. In Chicheley, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
  3. Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
  4. We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Name one person we can ask on the day
  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot
