- How many staff you need
- Travel, parking and access
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before booking.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Which courses you have in mind
- What the venue already provides
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Diets and allergies you know about
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote.
The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. Evening events in Foulford have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Ensure we can park close by to unload

DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s 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.
