- Your choice of paellas
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Timings and hours
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before you book.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- The date and rough timings
- Approximate guest numbers, including children

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
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.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh. For a Christmas party in Chiltington, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
