How the day works
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. A summer party in Weald stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us the date, the address, numbers and diets.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- It is served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot

Other catering in Weald
Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
