Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Give us diet totals and allergy details
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
We adapt if timings change.

What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell generally draws people over. December events in Inkpen are in the dark from about 4:00pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Getting ready for the day

DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
