Can you feed everyone quickly?

Should I cook it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
What affects the price in Chute Forest
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Whether you need crockery
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
