DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. December events in South Heath are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
How to prepare
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Tell us when you want to eat
