Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
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.
Catering for every guest
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
If timings change on the day, tell us and we will adapt.

Cudham questions

Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.

Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
What documents can you provide?
Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we will provide it.

We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
