A crowd-pleaser for meat eaters.

A proper vegan main, in its own pan.
How the day works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. Evening events in Queensbury have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- We check your dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Plan cover in case of rain

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. A huge pan cooking in view sells itself. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Why Queensbury hosts choose us
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Drinks service on request
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Served hot, straight from the pan
