Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Nettlestead Green? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
