Should I cook it myself?

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

How the day works

Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh. In Wickham Heath, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
  2. We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
  3. We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
  5. We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.

Getting ready for the day

  • Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
  • Leave space around the cooking area
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
