How it works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your party. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. At midsummer, it’s light in Lower Padworth until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.

Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

What’s in the pans
Seafood paella

Tapas

Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Ensure most people can sit to eat
Children love watching the paella cook.
We can bring plates, cutlery and staff.
