For a country party near Burroughs Grove, tapas and sangria set the mood. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

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. We take care of all of it.
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 will do the cooking.
