Dishes our guests love
Chicken & chorizo paella
Popular with families.
Vegan paella
Vegan visitors get a real meal.
Is live paella right for your event?
Not every trader covers vegans. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. Larger events usually cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. 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.
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.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
- Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
- Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
