Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Give us diet totals and allergy details
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls.
Churros or Spanish desserts to finish.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Is live paella right for your work event?
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before you book.

Do you come out to small places like The Pound?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.

Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
Do you do Christmas parties?
Yes, where the venue has a covered, ventilated space to cook. Book early for December.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is typically popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. In The Pound, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
