Planning help
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
What we need at the venue
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
What we offer
- Drinks service
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
- Desserts
- Paella lunches
- Canapé tapas
- Bowl food
