Planning for every diet

We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
  • Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
  • Tell us how long the food break is
  • Ask what the venue requires from caterers

Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception, so guests can network while they eat.

How the day works

We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. After-work summer parties in Toddington have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
  2. We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
  3. We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
  5. Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

Toddington: your questions answered

What about events near the coast?

Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.

Could we have live paella in Mewsbrook Park?

Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.

Can we pay by invoice?

We will explain booking and payment when you enquire.

Can you bring crockery?

We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.

How long do you need on site?

It depends on the menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.

Will there be enough food?

We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.

Can you cook indoors?

Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.

Do you cater for young children?

Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan for them.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
