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.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Why choose live paella in Lessness Heath?
Buffets can mean food sitting for a while. Paella is served hot from the pan when guests are ready. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why us?
- We cover Lessness Heath and the whole of Greater London
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Fast service from the pan
