Planning a First Communion lunch in Alicante
Plan a First Communion lunch in Alicante or the Vinalopó: choosing a venue, catering formats, children’s meals, dietary needs and a weekly checklist.

Giant paella
A community paella brings everyone together around the table. We cook for your committee, association or company and organise how the rice is served, so you can all enjoy it together.
We have the kit to cook for 40 or for 500 guests. Tell us how many of you there’ll be, what time you want to eat and how the portions will be served.
A neighbourhood fiesta and a company day out run at different paces. We set up the kitchen to suit the venue and the sittings.
You can book just the cooking of the rice, or add plating, tableware, service and clear-away. The proposal covers whichever tasks you choose.

We can cook in one paella pan or share the cooking between several. With several burners, there’s room for different recipes and for staggering when the dishes go out.
We choose the set-up according to the number of portions, the cooking area and the route to the tables. Arroz a banda, rice with rabbit and chicken-and-vegetable rice are some of our house options.

We need access for unloading and a cooking area with room to work. We agree the serving point so your guests can collect their plates in an orderly fashion.
Tell us what side tables and equipment you have. With the venue’s address, we can plan the journey from Aspe and list what we’ll bring.
With cooking on site: cook, paella pans, burners, ingredients and cooking the rice. You provide the space, the table set-up and the service, if you’ve already got that covered.
You can add plating, disposable tableware or crockery, waiting staff and clear-away. Waiting staff and tableware are itemised in the proposal. Travel from Aspe is confirmed once we know the location.
The price is not fixed per person: the quote depends on guest numbers, format, service level and travel. We issue an invoice.
The quote depends on the number of guests, the format, the level of service and travel. With cooking on site, we provide the cook, the kit and the food; you provide the space, the set-up and the serving. The informal format adds a simple set-up and disposable tableware, with service if you ask for it. The full-service format includes the complete set-up, crockery, glassware, table linen, waiting staff and clear-away. Waiting staff and tableware are itemised separately in the proposal, depending on the option you choose. Travel is confirmed once we know the location, and we issue an invoice.
We decide with you where the plates are dished up and how your guests will come up to collect them. Tell us whether everyone will eat at once or in sittings, and who’ll help serve, and we’ll set up the serving points to match.
Catering covers the cooking and the service tasks you book. A buffet is a way of presenting the food so guests come up and help themselves. For your paella, you can choose that style of serving or table service.
We can use one or several. The space for the burners, the recipes you choose and the sittings help us decide on the most practical set-up.
Yes, our kit can cater for five hundred guests. Send us the access details, the cooking area and the mealtime, and we’ll plan the set-up and how the portions are served.
We start from the time you want to serve. We check the unloading access and the preparation space so we can coordinate arrival, cooking and serving with the organisers.
See how we arrange the burners and paella pans in a marquee.
You’ll find more recipes on our paella and live-cooked rice page. For a get-together at home, there’s paella delivery.
Send us the location, the portions you expect and the mealtime. We’ll plan the cooking and the serving with you.
