The menu, dish by dish
Giant paella pans
Huge pans of golden rice.
Chicken & chorizo paella
Smoky and filling, popular with families.
DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Planning the cooking area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Trader information and site rules
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
