The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. At midsummer, sunset in Castle Town is about 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- We agree timings with you and your venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve each course.
- We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.
How to prepare

Castle Town: your questions answered
Can you cook in Hillside Park (parke sa Hiniusang Gingharian)?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Do you come out to small places like Castle Town?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
What if our speeches run late?
Tell us and we will adjust. We keep in touch with your venue on the day and time the rice so it’s served at its best.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Do you cover Castle Town?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Castle Town is within our area. For a quote, use our quote form.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is usually popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
