How the day works

From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your party. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. Sunset in Fulwell is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.

  1. First, we check the date and the space.
  2. You choose your paellas and any extras.
  3. The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
  4. The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
  5. We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.

Preparing for the day

  • Plan cover in case of rain
  • Have a level space ready for the pans
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Common questions in Fulwell

Which station should guests use for Fulwell?

Fulwell has its own station: Fulwell station.

Can you cater a reception after a service at St Michael's?

Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.

Can you do sangria?

We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.

What do you need at the venue?

Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.

Do you cook it at the event?

Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.

Can you supply plates?

We can. Tell us what you need and we will include it in the quote.

Can you bring crockery?

We can. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.

Diets, allergies and planning

With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:

  • Ensure most people can sit to eat
  • Keep children and pets away from the burners
  • Have cover ready for a shower
  • Ask guests about diets when you invite them

We arrive before your guests to set up.

A jug of sangria sets the tone.

Choosing a paella caterer

The menu, dish by dish

Seafood paella

Prawns, mussels and squid in a rich stock.

Churros

Fried, sugared and dipped in chocolate.

Working with your venue

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

What paella party catering costs

These are the factors that matter most:

  • Distance and access to the venue
  • Waiting and bar staff
  • Starters, canapés and desserts
  • Guest numbers

Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
