How the day works
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. December events in Ifold are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
We keep the cooking area tidy and contained, and clear it away afterwards.
Churros or Spanish desserts to finish.
Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Live paella or other catering?
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Larger events normally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
