DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
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. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Before you choose a spot
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Vegetable paella
- Mixed paella
- Churros
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Tapas
- Paella Valenciana
- Seafood paella
Why live cooking beats a buffet
For a party that feels a little special without being formal, live paella fits perfectly. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
