Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Send us the running order and speech times
Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables, whichever suits your day.
A table tapas starter gets everyone sharing.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh. At midsummer, sunset in Tunstall is about 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
