Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
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.
Your questions about tapas catering in Fulbrook
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of Saint James the Great?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Fulbrook close to London?
About 69 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you do desserts?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Planning the cooking area
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- Space on each table
- Access to unload near the serving area
- Space to finish hot dishes
