DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. 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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
Diets, allergies and planning
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To get it right:
- Plan seating near the food area
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Book crew catering in advance
We clear the pitch and leave it as we found it.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot paella keeps crew going. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- A quote that spells everything out
