Planning the cooking area

We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:

  • Level ground for the pans and burners
  • Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
  • The venue’s permission for live cooking

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

How the day works

From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your work event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. For a Christmas party in Plumpton Green, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

  1. We check the date and venue.
  2. You pick the menu.
  3. We provide the paperwork.
  4. The paella cooks as your team gathers.
  5. It’s served quickly, then we pack down.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

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 be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.

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.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Why book with us

  • Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
  • A clear, itemised quote
  • Food that becomes part of the entertainment
  • Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
