Paella catering for your group
Magdalena cooks it and brings it to you herself in Wassenaar, The Hague and the surrounding area. If you are a little further out, just ask. We can usually work something out.
WhatsAppWhat’s included with your paella
- The paella itself, made with the recipes Magdalena grew up with.
- Choose seafood, chicken, vegetables, or chicken and seafood when you order.
- It arrives at the time you tell us, in its own pan and in an insulated box, hot and ready to serve. We talk you through anything you need to know when we drop it off.
- Vegetable paella with vegetable stock if you ask, so the vegetarians at the table eat the same as everyone else.
- Other dishes from our menu to round it off: tapas, croquetas, empanadas, Spanish omelette or desserts, if you want more on the table than the rice.
- Only some dishes can be prepared gluten-free, on request: we do not have a substitute for every tapa. That food is cooked separately, using separate utensils and fresh oil to prevent cross-contamination, and we will confirm which dishes we can adapt when you order.
- Delivery is available for orders over a certain amount. That amount varies with the season and the distance, and we confirm it in the quote. You can also collect from our home in Wassenaar.
How to order a paella
- 1
Get in touch
On WhatsApp or by email. Tell us how many of you there are, which day, and whether we should know about any allergies or dietary needs. That alone tells us which pan we need.

We send you a quote
In writing, with that day’s prices and a validity date, and with delivery or collection already sorted. No obligation: if it does not suit, that is fine.

Magdalena cooks it
The paella is cooked on the day of your celebration, not the night before: it is made and eaten straight away.

She brings it herself
Magdalena delivers the paella herself: the pan is large and needs careful handling, so she brings it at the agreed time.
Questions about paella
How big is the pan?
We cook in a large paella pan, sized to the group. Tell us how many servings you need and we will choose the right pan. If you would like to know which one we will bring, just ask.
Is a paella worth it if there are only a few of us?
Tell us how many of you there are and we will tell you whether paella, or something else from our menu, would suit you better. For a small group, the order may fall below our minimum for delivery, in which case collection from Wassenaar usually works out better.
Do you cook it at our place, or does it arrive ready?
Normally it arrives cooked, in its pan and ready to serve: you do not need to hand over your kitchen or light a fire in the garden. Crockery and cutlery are not included unless we agree to include them as part of the catering. There is also the “paella show”: Magdalena cooks it at your event, in front of your guests. It is not the usual arrangement, because all the equipment has to travel with her, and it only works if the venue is set up for cooking. We agree the details when you ask for a quote.
Can we order the paella on its own?
Yes. You do not need an event to eat well, and a paella on its own is an order like any other. If you like, we can round it off with tapas, empanadas or desserts.
