The process
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests generally gather round to watch while it cooks. A summer party in Eversley Cross stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, 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.
- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- Guests gather round as it cooks, nibbling tapas if you’ve booked them.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
