WE COOK. WE SERVE. YOU ENJOY.

Paella catering.
Everything thought through.

We take care of the paella so you can take care of your guests. We coordinate setup, cooking and serving with your event schedule.

WHAT’S INCLUDED?

Everything needed
for a proper paella.

01

Live cooking

Paella is a celebration! We prepare the paella or fideuà at your venue, in front of your guests.

02

Ingredients and our own equipment

We bring ingredients, pans, burners, utensils, water, compostable tableware and floor protection. We know what it takes to make everything run smoothly. We can serve up to 500 portions.

03

Logistics and transport

Our travel and equipment transport are part of the service. We confirm your venue with you and advise on the best setup and layout.

04

Serving each plate

We time service so the rice is freshly cooked when guests collect their portion.

05

Compostable tableware

We include thick compostable plates to protect hands from the heat, along with compostable cutlery and napkins.

06

Clearing up and cover

We clean our own equipment and protect the floor to keep it clean. Public liability insurance is included.

HOW WE PLAN IT

Three steps.
Then everyone to the table.

  1. 01

    Tell us your idea

    Date, town, portions and type of event. If the venue is new to us, photos or a video help us plan so everything runs smoothly on the day.

  2. 02

    Agree the details

    We confirm the recipe, schedule, cooking area and serving arrangements. The agreed deposit then secures your date. We can issue a pro forma invoice on request.

  3. 03

    We light the burners

    We bring the equipment, cook on the spot with live showcooking and serve. You enjoy time with your guests.

Cooking a paella on site

On the day.

Before the event, we check access, the cooking area, table layout and the route guests will take to collect their food. We agree space requirements for the size of your event and plan an alternative if rain is forecast.

After the last plate?

If there are portions left over, we bring containers so you can take them home. We can also advise on organising service: experience is there to be shared.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Before we light the burners.

Where do you travel?

We travel throughout Catalonia. We cook at your event venue, across the regions of Barcelona, Girona, Lleida and Tarragona. Tell us your town and venue and we will confirm travel arrangements.

How many people can you cook for?

The calculator covers 20–500 portions. If you need a different quantity or want to combine recipes, tell us and we will assess your proposal.

What do you need at the venue?

We assess access, cooking space and guest layout for the size of your event. Send us photos or a description and we will agree the requirements before confirming your booking.

What if it rains?

We agree an alternative with the organiser before the event. The cooking area must allow us to work safely; we do not improvise a solution on the day.

We offer vegetable paella, and all our rice dishes are suitable for people with coeliac disease. You must inform us of any guest’s food intolerance or allergy before booking. We will confirm ingredients and suitability with you.

Contact us as soon as you know. Under the 2026 terms, it may be possible to increase portions up to 4 hours before the event, always by prior arrangement.

We bring containers so you can take remaining portions home.
