Planning help
DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Who books paella catering in Brownbread Street?
People book live paella because it is food and entertainment at once. The pans become a focal point, and the food itself is hot and plentiful.
In Brownbread Street and nearby, we cater all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Naming days and family parties
- Engagement and anniversary parties
- Office lunches and staff parties

Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Plan a meat, a seafood and a vegetable or vegan pan
- Plan seating for most guests: paella is easiest eaten sitting down
Paella is best eaten as soon as it is ready, so we serve when guests are ready.
Sangria and bar staff can be added for your own drinks.

Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
