DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
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.
Organising for someone else?
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Share the timings for food
- Give us diet totals and allergy details
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
The cooking area stays tidy.
Sangria and bar staff for drinks you provide.
