Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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 be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.

The process
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. At midsummer, events in Edgware stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm what we will serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
- We set up at the agreed time.
- We cook in front of the crowd and serve from the pan all event.
- We pack down and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The number of people
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Starters, canapés and desserts
