Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
- Get facilities approval early
- Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
We keep the cooking area tidy and contained.

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.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The number of people
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- The paellas you choose
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Which courses you have in mind
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Anything your venue supplies
