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.

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.

Diets, allergies and planning

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Share the timings for food
  • Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
  • Get facilities approval early
  • Ask facilities what documents they need from us

We adapt if timings change.
