What else we do in Bagnor
Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
The process
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For a late-May party in Bagnor, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- Guests gather round as it cooks, nibbling tapas if you’ve booked them.
- We serve it hot from the pan, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

Common questions in Bagnor
Can you cater a reception after a service at Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.

We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Is paella OK for kids?
Most children enjoy paella, especially a mild chicken one. Let us know numbers and ages.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Ask the venue about live cooking.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We will make a plan B with you.
Working with your venue
Venues frequently 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.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Space, weather and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Send a picture of the garden so we can check
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
