- A pitch big enough for the pans, burners and serving table
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before you book.

Should I cook it myself?
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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
