Why live cooking beats a buffet
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella just needs a suitable spot. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
