Our caterer checklist

DIY paella versus live catering

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

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.

Planning for every diet

Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:

  • Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
  • Have bins ready
  • Ask guests about diets when you invite them
  • Give the neighbours a heads-up

We arrive before your guests to set up.

A jug of sangria sets the tone, with an alcohol-free version for drivers and children.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. For a late-May party in Britwell Salome, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.
