The menu, dish by dish
Seafood paella
Prawns, mussels and squid in a rich fish stock, cooked until the rice is golden. It’s the pan people photograph.
Paella Valenciana
In Valencia, the recipe is fiercely debated. The classic version is chicken, green beans and butter beans with saffron, and it’s a crowd-pleaser.
Who books paella catering in Broughton Crossing?

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
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.

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Choose two or three paellas so every guest has a choice
- Let us know about other food at the event
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
Let the paella rest for a few minutes before serving, and that is when we invite guests up.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges make the meal go further and suit guests who aren’t big rice eaters.
