DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Paella compared with other options
Choosing between paella and a traditional menu?, consider your venue, diets and the style you want. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.

Do you cook inside?

Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Enquire early for peak dates
Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables, whichever suits your day.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
