For event organisers in North Weston
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

What’s in the pans

Paella compared with other options
