How it works
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. For a Christmas party in Staplefield, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
