What we need at the venue

No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:

  • Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
  • Level ground for the pans and burners
  • A safe distance from anything that could catch

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

What we offer

Dietary needs and planning tips

Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Confirm live cooking with facilities
  • Ask facilities what documents they need from us
  • Ask staff about diets in advance
  • Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol

The cooking area stays tidy, and clear it away afterwards.

Canapés for drinks receptions.

DIY paella versus live catering

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

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. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Choosing a paella caterer

Paella compared with other options

Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Why book with us

  • Starters and desserts to complete the menu
  • No hidden extras in your quote
  • Fast service from the pan
  • Food that becomes part of the entertainment
