How the day works
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. At midsummer, it is light in Woughton on the Green until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- It is served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Leave space around the cooking area

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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 be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Live paella or other catering?
Ordering in is easy but forgettable. Live paella is something guests remember. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
