Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Corporate paella catering in Barcombe Cross, cooked live
Live cooking gets people out of their usual groups, which is exactly what a team event is for. Popular choices include vegan and vegetarian paella, bowl food and paella lunches, and we are regularly asked to cater charity days and christmas parties.
