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 handles separate pans for each diet.
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. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Step by step
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For an evening event in Greywell, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and documents.
