DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Canapés, bowl food and desserts can be added, and we work with your venue on access and paperwork. We are frequently asked to cater conferences and training days and summer staff parties, serving canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and vegan and vegetarian paella.
