The process
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests typically gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. For an evening event in Wick, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- We check your 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.

Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Dishes our guests love

Huge pans of golden rice.
