What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. For a Christmas party in Hoath, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.

- Confirm live cooking with facilities
- Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks
Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception, so guests can network while they eat.
Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.
