Is live paella right for your event?
Food trucks and street-food vans serve one portion at a time. A big pan serves many guests fast, which suits weddings and parties where everyone eats together. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

What’s in the pans
Vegetable and vegan paella
A vegetable paella is not an afterthought: peppers, artichokes and beans with saffron, cooked in its own pan.
Mixed paella
Mixed paella brings meat and seafood together, and it’s frequently the first pan to empty.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Have seats for most of your guests
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Ask about diets and allergies on your invitation or RSVP
Paella is best eaten as soon as it is ready, so we plan service for when guests are ready to eat.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges make the meal go further and suit guests who aren’t big rice eaters.
