The process
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your work event. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. In Magham Down, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
