DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
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.
What happens on the day
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you are free to enjoy your work event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. For a Christmas party in South Hinksey, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
