What’s in the pans
Chicken & chorizo paella
Smoky, satisfying and popular with children, and a good choice for guests who don’t eat seafood.
Vegetable paella
A proper vegetable paella, not an afterthought.
The process
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 Stoke Goldington stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.

Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.

What else we do in Stoke Goldington
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.
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.
