- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before you book.

How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. In Cock Marling, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
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.
