Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

What tapas catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Distance and access to the venue
- Guest numbers
- How many staff you need
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help

- Roughly how many adults and children
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The date and rough timings
