These are the factors that matter most:
- How long we are needed on site
- Whether you need crockery
- Travel, parking and access

Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Expected numbers
- Diets and allergies you know about

DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, 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 is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.

Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
