Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

How it works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your party. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. A summer party in Moreton stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You tell us the date, address, guest numbers and any dietary needs.
- We suggest a menu and confirm a quote.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we are done.
Preparing for the day

Do you cater for children?
Of course. Children normally love a plain chicken paella. Tell us how many children are coming.

Paella is cooked over gas, so there is cooking steam and smell but little smoke. Neighbours may well want an invitation.

Do you clear up afterwards?
