Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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 be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Count day and evening guests separately
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you can enjoy yourselves.
A table tapas starter gets everyone sharing.

How the day works
