Festival paella catering near Knightsbridge
DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Festival paella catering in Knightsbridge, made fresh on the day
Paella eats well from a bowl with a fork, standing up or sitting on the grass. On the menu are churros, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella, and we’re frequently booked for open days and community events and summer fairs and fêtes.
Street parties and school fairs in Knightsbridge are a great fit for a paella stall, once permissions are sorted. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
