DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Your questions about corporate paella catering in Nursling
Can you cook near the sea around Nursling?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.

We cater across London and the South East, including Southampton. See all areas.
What affects the price in Nursling
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The paellas you choose
- Parking and unloading
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- How many staff you need
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
