What else we do in Nether Worton
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
The process
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh. Evening receptions in Nether Worton stay light until about 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
- We check your date.
- You pick the style.
- We set up on arrival.
- We serve the spread.
- Afterwards, we clear up.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
