DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is 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. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Live paella or other catering?
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot paella keeps crew going. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why New Pound hosts choose us
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests

Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Trader information and site rules
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Pitch space for cooking and serving
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Schedule crew meals
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Provide seating near the food
Pans cook in full view, serving throughout the event.
