Catering for every guest

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Find out what paperwork the venue needs
  • Think about shade and seating
  • Check the building or venue allows live cooking
  • Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies

We serve at the agreed time, lunchtime or evening.

Canapés for drinks receptions.

Step by step

Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. After-work summer parties in West Lavington have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.

  1. First, we check date and venue.
  2. You pick the menu.
  3. We send any documents your venue needs.
  4. The paella cooks as your team gathers.
  5. It’s served quickly, then we pack down.

How to prepare

  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Have a level space ready for the pans
  • Give us your final numbers and diets
