Dishes our guests love
Tapas
A few tapas set the scene while they watch the pans.
Vegetable paella
A vegetable pan means vegetarians eat well, and meat eaters often try it too.
Diets, allergies and planning
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Have bins ready
- Make sure children stay back from the pans
- Warn the neighbours
- Make sure most people can sit to eat
We keep the cooking area tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.
Add bread, salad and lemon.
The process
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a late-May party in Beenham Stocks, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.

DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
