Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Most stalls cook to order. Paella is batch-cooked and served fast, so queues move quickly. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
Why us?
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Fast service from the pan
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
