Should I cook it myself?

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Our caterer checklist

Step by step

Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. Evening receptions in Burchett's Green stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, numbers and how you’d like the tapas served.
  2. You get a suggested selection and a price.
  3. On the day we arrive, set up and finish the hot tapas on site.
  4. Canapés circulate with drinks, or tapas go to the tables.
  5. We clear away our equipment when service is finished.

Before we arrive

  • Get the venue’s permission for cooking
  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Have a level space ready for the pans

Common questions in Burchett's Green

Which station should guests use for Burchett's Green?

The closest is Furze Platt station, roughly 2.8 miles away.

We are having a ceremony at Saint John the Evangelist: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.

Can you cook indoors?

Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.

Is the paella gluten-free?

We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.

How do you work out quantities?

We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.

What space do you need to cook?

Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.

How long do you need on site?

It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.

Do we need staff for canapés?

We can provide staff. Canapés need staff to serve.

What affects the price in Burchett's Green

There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:

  • Plates, cutlery and glassware
  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
