Our caterer checklist

Diets, allergies and planning

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

  • Ask about your date as soon as you have one
  • Introduce us to your venue coordinator
  • Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
  • Give us separate day and evening numbers

After service, we pack down our cooking area; staff you’ve booked stay as agreed.

Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.

Why book with us

  • Live cooking, not reheated food

The menu, dish by dish

Table tapas

A tapas starter gets tables talking.

Canapé tapas

Canapés keep guests happy between the ceremony and the meal.

The process

We work to your timings. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. In Princes Risborough, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

  1. We check availability for your date.
  2. You pick the courses and dishes.
  3. We confirm everything with your venue.
  4. The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
  5. We serve and clear our cooking area.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area
  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
