DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
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.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Get facilities approval early
- Think about shade and seating
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls.
Bowl food for standing events.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
- Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
- Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
