Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

Rural weddings around Oad Street have a magic of their own, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.
