Other catering in Tovil
Should I cook it myself?
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. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Is live paella right for your work event?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella just needs a suitable spot. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
