DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s 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.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Is live paella right for your event?
Tapas are flexible, which makes them easy to plan around. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before booking.
