The process
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. A summer party in Little Kimble stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Warn the neighbours
We arrive before your guests to set up, so the cooking is under way as people arrive.
Tapas and nibbles while the paella cooks keep hunger at bay.
