Why live cooking beats a buffet

A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Larger events typically cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Step by step

Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell usually draws people over. For a Christmas party in Hellingly, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.

  2. You get a menu, a price and documents.
