DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Canapé tapas
- Bowl food
- Paella lunches
- Drinks service
- Desserts
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
