DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Expected numbers
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Your date and when you want to eat
- What the venue already provides
