Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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 will do the cooking.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
The process
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. Summer events in Wallington have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- 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 clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have a level space ready for the pans
Getting a price
Send us the date, your venue or SM6 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you’ll get a menu idea and a price. To get started, use our quote form.
