DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
The process
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. For a Christmas party in Harcourt Hill, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Tell us when you want to eat
