Planning an event in Cothill?

Planning for every diet

Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:

  • Find out what paperwork the venue needs
  • Check the building or venue allows live cooking
  • Ask staff about diets in advance
  • Think about shade and seating

We arrive at the agreed time and follow your site rules, including sign-in and parking.

Should I cook it myself?

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

How we price corporate paella catering

Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:

  • Travel, parking and access
  • Whether you need crockery
  • How many staff you need
  • The length of service

Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.

What to tell us

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

  • A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
  • Any dietary needs and allergies

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.

Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.

How the day works

The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. In Cothill, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
  2. We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
  3. We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
  4. The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Before we arrive

  • Give us your final numbers and diets
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Check the venue allows live cooking

Before you choose a spot

  • A safe distance from anything that could catch
  • Access for unloading near the cooking spot
