DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Who books corporate paella catering in Almodington?

Why live cooking beats a buffet
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella just needs a suitable spot. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.

Questions from Almodington
Can you cook near the sea around Almodington?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Do you come out to small places like Almodington?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you bring crockery?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
How much paella per person?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Do you do desserts?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
How the day works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell generally draws people over. After-work summer parties in Almodington have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
How to prepare
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
