DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Your questions about corporate paella catering in Tetsworth
Is Tetsworth too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll make a plan B with you.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can the team help cook?
Teams frequently enjoy watching and asking questions. Tell us what you’d like.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
