Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Should I cook it myself?
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 for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Dishes our guests love
Paella lunches
Two or three paellas served from the pan, quick to serve to a big team.
