- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Have bins ready
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
After service, we pack down, so the party carries on.

DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Your questions about paella party catering in Cranbourne
What’s the nearest station to Cranbourne for guests?
The closest is Ascot station, roughly 3 miles away.
Is Cranbourne too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.

When should I book?
The sooner the better, but it is always worth asking. We’ll check availability straight away.
Step by step
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. For a late-May party in Cranbourne, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
