How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan when you’re ready to eat. At midsummer, it is light in Beacon's Bottom until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.

DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
About the dishes
Tapas
Bravas, tortilla, croquetas and more while the paella cooks.
Chicken & chorizo paella
It’s one of the most popular pans at parties.
Space, weather and the venue
We will be honest if a space will not work. The main points are:
- Send a photo of the garden so we can check
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
