The process

When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell typically draws people over. For a Christmas party in Gossops Green, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

  1. We check the date and venue.
  2. You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
  3. We provide the paperwork.
  4. Your team watches the paella cook.
  5. It is served quickly, then we pack down.

Preparing for the day

  • Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
  • Let us know the timings for the day
  • Name one person we can ask on the day

Getting a price

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

DIY paella versus live catering

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

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.
