DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
What we need at the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.
On the menu in Maltman's Hill
