DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Common questions in Broughton
How far is Broughton from London?
About 67 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Broughton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can paella feel formal?
Served well, it feels generous and special: canapés, table tapas, good crockery and staff serving the tables.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Live paella or other catering?
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Paella covers them with separate pans. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. At midsummer, sunset in Broughton is about 9:30pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- We agree timings with you and your venue, including speeches and photos.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
