Live paella or other catering?
Food that sits in a hot cabinet is not much to look at. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.

Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Schedule crew meals
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Send traders one clear trader pack
Pans cook in full view, serving throughout the event.
Bowl food for easy eating on the move.
