Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Space, weather and the venue

The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:

  • A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
  • Parking close enough to carry equipment
  • Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo

Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we offer

  • Paella lunches
  • Desserts
  • Canapé tapas
  • Bowl food
  • Drinks service
  • Vegan & vegetarian pans

Step by step

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 while the paella cooks. For a Christmas party in Southcourt, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.

  2. You get a menu, a price and documents.
