DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
What’s in the pans
Tapas
Tapas keep guests going while they watch the pans.
Seafood paella
The seafood pan is often the showpiece, and is best served with lemon.

How it works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. A summer party in Rodmersham Green stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- On the day, we set up and get cooking.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- It is served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
