Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.

Planning help
Space, weather and the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Prices and what affects them

- How many guests are eating
- Whether you need crockery
- The length of service
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before booking.

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Your date and when you want to eat
- A picture of where we’d cook
- The address or venue name
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
What’s in the pans
