Is live paella right for your event?
Most street food is cooked one order at a time. Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, so queues move quickly. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Drinks service on request
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Everything cooked fresh at your event

DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
