Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Give us diet totals and allergy details
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
We keep the cooking area tidy and contained, and clear it away afterwards.
Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.
What happens on the day
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. December events in Seven Dials are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
