What else we do in Hurtmore
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
The process
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. Evening events in Hurtmore have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

- You get our menu, pitch requirements and paperwork.
- We arrive at the agreed time to set up the pitch.
- Pans cook in full view and we serve throughout the event.
- We pack down and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Give us a contact for the day
