The menu, dish by dish
Evening paella
Fresh pans for evening guests, served quickly so the party keeps going.
Paella wedding breakfast
Paellas for every guest, served straight from the pan.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Organising a club, school or community event in Worting? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.

Live paella or other catering?
If you are weighing up paella against a traditional menu, think about your venue, your guests’ diets and the feel of the day. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
