Why live cooking beats a buffet
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs a lot of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Larger events normally cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

DIY paella versus live catering
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks

Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Travel, parking and access
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Details that help

- Any dietary needs and allergies
