DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
About our festival paella catering in Shooter's Hill

In Shooter's Hill, a paella pan suits street parties and school fairs, once permissions are sorted. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
