Other catering in Enstone
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Desserts
Churros with chocolate, crema catalana or tarta de Santiago.
Evening paella
Fresh pans for evening guests, served quickly so the party keeps going.
