Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
What we need at the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- 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 will tell you honestly.

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. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.

- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
