DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, events in Aldermaston Soke stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and paperwork.
- We set up on time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Give us a contact for the day
