How it works
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. For a late-May party in Hillingdon, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- It is served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches

The price comes down to a few factors:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Starters, canapés and desserts
