Live paella or other catering?
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. Larger events generally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch

DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

What happens on the day

- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
- We cook live and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
