How it works
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. For a Christmas party in Pett, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- 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 live and serve on schedule.

FAQs for Pett
What’s the nearest station to Pett for guests?
Three Oaks station, about 2.5 miles west of the centre.
Can you cook near the sea around Pett?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is 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.
