Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:

- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
At food time, we serve straight from the pan.
Add bread, salad and lemon.
DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
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.
The process
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. At midsummer, it is light in Horsenden until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
