Planners, venues and businesses

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
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.
Planning the cooking area
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Firm, level ground
- Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down
- Clear information on power, water and waste
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
