Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
What’s in the pans
Canapé tapas
Bite-sized tapas carried round by staff during receptions.
Bowl food
Paella in bowls for standing receptions and networking events.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Other catering in Boldre
Live paella or other catering?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
