DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Space, weather and the venue
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Level ground for the pans and burners
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we offer
- Drinks service
- Canapé tapas
- Bowl food
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
