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 keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

The process
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. In Tooting Bec, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We clear our area and leave it clean.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Share the running order, including any speeches
