For planners, venues and organisers

For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.

DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
What affects the price in Washington
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many staff you need
- The paellas you choose
- How long we’re needed on site
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.

How the day works
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. In Washington, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- We check the date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
