A closer look at the menu
Paella wedding breakfast
Two or three paellas, served from the pans or brought to the tables, with bread and salad.
Evening paella
Paella makes great evening food.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
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 be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
