12 questions to ask before booking

How the day works

Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. A summer party in Buckland stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

  1. We check your date and the space.
  2. You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
  3. The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
  4. The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
  5. It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.

How to prepare

  • Let us know the timings for the day
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area

Is the paella cooked on site?

Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.

Can you cook in the rain?

Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We will talk it through before the day.

Can you set up in a small garden?

Most gardens are fine. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. Send us a picture.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

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.

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
