DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Step by step
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. In Langley Heath, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.
- We check the date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Getting a price
