Planning help
DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
What we need at the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we offer
- Tapas
- Churros
- Mixed paella
- Vegetable paella
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Paella Valenciana
- Seafood paella
