Planning an event in Woolstone?

Should I cook it myself?

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

For event organisers in Woolstone

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Woolstone? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.

For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.

Prices and what affects them

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • The paellas you choose
  • Waiting and bar staff
  • How long we are needed on site
  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

What we need to know

The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:

  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • The date and rough timings
  • The address or venue name
  • Any dietary needs and allergies

Not sure what you need yet? That’s fine: give us the basics about your party, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, use our quote form.

Dietary needs and planning tips

Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Plan where rubbish goes
  • Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
  • Tell us how many children are coming
  • Ask guests about diets when you invite them

We arrive before your guests to set up, so the cooking is under way as people arrive.

Sangria sets the mood, with an alcohol-free version for drivers and children.

Dishes our guests love

Churros

All ages love churros.

Vegetable paella

A proper vegetable paella, not an afterthought.

How the day works

Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell generally draws people over. A summer party in Woolstone stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

  1. We check your date and the space.
  2. You choose your paellas and any extras.
  3. We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
  4. In goes the rice, and guests gather.
  5. It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

Whatever the occasion, paella can be the star of the food. We regularly cater:

  • Family get-togethers
