About the dishes
Paella lunches
Paella is a quick, hot lunch for a crowd.
Canapé tapas
Bite-sized tapas carried round by staff during receptions.
DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Space, weather and the venue
We will be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
