Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Paella compared with other options
Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Why us?
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Served hot, straight from the pan
