Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Book staff to carry canapés round
- Pair tapas with sangria, cava or sherry
- Make sure dishes are labelled
- Separate seafood dishes from the rest
Each dish is labelled.
Add a live paella main.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
