How the day works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. At midsummer, it is light in North Marston until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- 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
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable

Planning help
Working with your venue
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
About the dishes
Churros
Sugary churros with chocolate, a sweet finish.
Seafood paella
The seafood pan is often the showpiece.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Planning for every diet
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To get it right:
- Count adults and children separately
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Let the neighbours know
- Add a diet question to the invitation
If you’ve booked staff, they’ll help serve and clear.
We can bring plates, cutlery and staff.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Send a picture of the garden so we can check
- Level ground for the pans and burners
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Seafood paella
