Why live cooking beats a buffet
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before you book.

Planning the cooking area

- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Get facilities approval early
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
- Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks
Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception, so guests can network while they eat.
Canapé tapas for receptions and launches.
