Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Get facilities approval early
- Share the timings for food
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
Service is timed to your schedule, whether that’s a lunch break or an evening party.
Canapés for drinks receptions.
Dishes our guests love
Bowl food
Bowl food lets guests eat while they mingle.
Canapé tapas

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Denton questions
Can you cook in Castle Hill?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Which station should guests use for Denton?
The closest is Newhaven Town station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Do you work in winter?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
