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. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls.
Crockery and staff can be added.
Your questions about corporate paella catering in East Lavant

Chichester station, about 2.5 miles south of the centre.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including West Sussex. See all areas.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Can you bring crockery?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
Is the paella gluten-free?
