Why live cooking beats a buffet
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Paella covers them with separate pans. Larger events generally cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. At midsummer, sunset in Pagham is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
