Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
For event organisers in Hardwick
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
Why book with us
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
