What else we do in Fant
DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
How the day works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell generally draws people over. December events in Fant are in the dark from about 3:50pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
