DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
How it works
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. For an evening event in Enfield Highway, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- We check your dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.

Preparing for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
