DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Perfect for your event in Kentish Town
It suits outdoor events of all sizes.
Big or small, live paella works well. Common bookings include:
- Sports club events
- Country shows
- School fairs and fundraisers
- Village fêtes
School fairs, for a school like Holy Trinity and Saint Silas CofE Primary School, are a natural fit for a paella stall.
What your quote should include
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- Space, access and power needs
- How bad weather is handled
- Who provides the crockery
