Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

Planning for every diet

With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:

  • Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
  • Tell us how long the food break is
  • Ask what the venue requires from caterers
  • Check the building or venue allows live cooking

We serve at the agreed time, lunchtime or evening.

Highbridge: your questions answered

Is Highbridge close to London?

About 64 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

What’s the nearest station to Highbridge for guests?

Eastleigh station, about 1.7 miles south-west of the centre.

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.

What space do you need to cook?

Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.

Do you provide drinks?

Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

Do you work in winter?

With the right covered space, yes. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.

Do you cook inside?

Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.

Is halal food available?

Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.

For event organisers in Highbridge

Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.

How it works

Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. After-work summer parties in Highbridge have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
  2. You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
  3. We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
  4. The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
  5. We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.

Preparing for the day

  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Make sure we can park close by to unload
  • Have a level space ready for the pans
