DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.

Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Let us know what’s required, and we’ll send what you need.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
Yes. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
