DIY paella versus live catering

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. 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.

Planning for every diet

With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:

  • Tell us how long the food break is
  • Collect dietary needs when people sign up
  • Give us diet totals and allergy details
  • Provide shade and seats outdoors

We arrive on time and follow your site rules, including sign-in and parking.

Shirrell Heath questions

Do you come out to small places like Shirrell Heath?

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

Which station should guests use for Shirrell Heath?

The closest is Botley station, roughly 2.9 miles away.

Can the paella be cooked in a hall?

Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.

Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.

What if the weather’s bad?

  1. First, we check date and venue.
  2. You pick the menu.
  3. We provide the paperwork.
  4. The paella cooks as your team gathers.
  5. Fast service, then we clear away.
