Planning the cooking area

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

  • Parking close enough to carry equipment
  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
  • A level, firm spot for the burners and pans

Hayes is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

How it works

We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. After-work summer parties in Hayes have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
  2. We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
  3. We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
  4. The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Tell us where to park and unload
  • Get the venue’s permission for cooking
  • Plan cover in case of rain

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.

  • Travel, parking and access
  • How many guests are eating
  • Waiting and bar staff
  • How many courses

Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Planning for every diet

Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Check the building or venue allows live cooking
  • Tell us how long the food break is
  • Give us diet totals and allergy details
  • Find out what paperwork the venue needs

If timings change on the day, tell us and we will adapt.
