Where we can cook in Shorwell

Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • Somewhere close to park and unload
  • Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls

For somewhere as remote as Shorwell, early notice helps us plan the trip.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

Popular choices

  • Vegan & vegetarian pans

The process

When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. December events in Shorwell are in the dark from about 4:00pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.

  1. We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
  2. We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
  3. We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
  4. The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
  5. Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.

How to prepare

  • Make sure we can park close by to unload
  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day
  • Check the venue allows live cooking

Our caterer checklist

For planners, venues and organisers

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.

For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.

Shorwell: your questions answered

Do you come out to small places like Shorwell?

No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

Is halal food available?

Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.

Do you do Christmas parties?

We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. Hot paella in winter is popular.

How much paella per person?

Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.

How does payment work for businesses?

Let us know your company’s process, and we’ll explain how we work.

Do you do desserts?

Planning for every diet

Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:

  • Have water and soft drinks available
  • Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
  • Let us know how long people have to eat
  • Get facilities approval early

We serve at the agreed time, whether that’s a lunch break or an evening party.

Churros or Spanish desserts to finish.

DIY paella versus live catering

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.

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.

  • Cooked live in giant pans at your event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
  • Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
  • Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
