- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable

- The address or venue name
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. You can use our quote form.
Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Get facilities approval early
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
- Give us diet totals and allergy details
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
We serve at the agreed time, lunchtime or evening.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff available.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
