How the day works
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. December events in Kimbridge 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, timings and diets.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking

For event organisers in Kimbridge
Organising a club, school or community event in Kimbridge? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Should I cook it myself?
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.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. 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.
