DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Burger stalls are common. Paella adds something different. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- A clear, itemised quote
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks

We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. For an evening event in Dedworth, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.

- Pans are cooking as gates open.
