Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
What’s in the pans
Canapé tapas
Canapés keep guests happy between the ceremony and the meal.
Table tapas
Tapas set out on every table to share, from bravas to croquetas and Manchego.
