Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Diets, allergies and planning

Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:

  • Ask what the venue requires from caterers
  • Share the timings for food
  • Collect dietary needs when people sign up
  • Provide shade and seats outdoors

We arrive at the agreed time and follow your site rules, including sign-in and parking.

Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.

For event organisers in Lewknor

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

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Space, weather and the venue

Before the day, we will agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • Facilities approval and any site rules
  • Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

What happens on the day

A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan at the agreed time. In Lewknor, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
  2. We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
  • Give us your final numbers and diets
  • Tell us where to park and unload
