Planners, venues and businesses
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
The process
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. For a late-May party in Batt's Corner, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
