Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Put us in touch with your venue
Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables.
Table tapas make a sociable starter.

What else we do in Betchworth
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 leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The length of service
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Parking and unloading
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
