Dishes our guests love
Bowl food
Bowls are perfect for mingling.

A proper vegetarian or vegan main, not an afterthought.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
If timings change on the day, tell us and we will adapt.
Canapés for drinks receptions.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. After-work summer parties in Westley have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- We agree access and set-up with facilities.
- We cook live and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
Getting a price

Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and unloading
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The number of people
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the event is
- Which courses you have in mind
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Tell us about your work event in Westley, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
What we need at the venue
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.
