Why live cooking beats a buffet
Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. A huge pan cooking in view sells itself. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What you get with us
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
