Paella compared with other options
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Paella covers everyone with separate pans. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.

DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
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. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. Sunset in Conford is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
