12 questions to ask before booking

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Working with your venue

For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.

Organising a club, school or community event in Dadford? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.

Questions from Dadford

Can you cook in Stowe Park and Garden?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.

Do you come out to small places like Dadford?

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Can you cook indoors?

Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.

Can you provide dessert?

Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.

Can you invoice the company?

Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.

How soon do we need to book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.

How many paellas should we have?

Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.

Before you choose a spot

Before the day, we will agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:

  • Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
  • Parking close enough to carry equipment

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before booking.
