  • Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
  • Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
  • Ask what the venue requires from caterers
  • Add a diet question to the sign-up form

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

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

How the day works

Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell generally draws people over. December events in Winterbourne are in the dark from about 4:00pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.

  1. Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
  2. We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
  3. Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
  4. We cook live and serve on schedule.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

How to prepare

  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot

How to get a price
