Live paella or other catering?

Why us?

- Real theatre, not just catering

DIY paella versus live catering
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
What we need at the venue
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
