Planning an event in Guestling?
How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. After-work summer parties in Guestling have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
- You get a menu, a price and documents.
- Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable

DIY paella versus live catering
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.
