Live paella or other catering?
Home-made buffets take ages and sit out for hours. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.

How it works
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For a late-May party in Rose Hill, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:15pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
