DIY paella versus live catering
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.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Do you come out to small places like Hunt's Green?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Old Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.

Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
