Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:

- Warn the neighbours
The cooking area stays tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

Step by step
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. A summer party in Ramsden stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
