You get to be a guest at your own party: no shopping, no cooking, no hours at the stove. We take care of the food. Popular choices include churros, vegetable paella and seafood paella, and we are regularly asked to cater garden parties and summer barbecues and big birthdays.
Country parties near Hailey suit live paella: cooked outside, served from the pan. Plan a gazebo in case of rain. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Warn the neighbours
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain

Common questions in Hailey
We are having a ceremony at Church of St John the Evangelist: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How far is Hailey from London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Can you bring crockery?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can you supply crockery?
If you need them. Proper crockery or good-quality disposables are available.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. For a late-May party in Hailey, sunset is around 9:00pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:30pm. If the party runs past dark, we will need light where we cook and serve.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
