Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.

What happens on the day

We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests normally gather round to watch while it cooks. For a late-May party in Farley Green, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.

  1. Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
  2. You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
  3. We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
  4. Guests gather round as it cooks, nibbling tapas if you’ve booked them.
  5. It is served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.

Preparing for the day

  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
  • Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot

How to get a price
