What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Level ground for the pans and burners
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Include any suppliers you’re feeding
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
