DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
The menu, dish by dish
Bowl food
Paella in bowls for standing receptions.
Vegan and vegetarian pans
Separate pans with plant-based stock.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Buffets can leave food sitting out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

- Fast service from the pan
- Events in Tilehurst Within and across Reading
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
