Catering for every guest
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Let the neighbours know
We keep the cooking area tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.
A jug of sangria sets the tone, with an alcohol-free version for drivers and children.
What happens on the day
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. At midsummer, it is light in Hall's Green until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
