Authentic Spanish Paellas at home, Freshly Made Just for You

Unfortunately, not every paella is created equally. And with this thought in mind, it’s not uncommon for establishments to compromise on the authenticity of their paella recipes. All too often, restaurants catering to tourists take advantage of the lack of knowledge, allowing them to produce a poor-quality paella that doesn’t show off this authentically Spanish dish’s true beauty and luxury.

However, this is something that chef Andres never stands for – which is why you’ll know you’re getting top-quality paella when you choose our private solutions.

THE FULL SPANISH DINING EXPERIENCE YOU DESERVE

Paella is one of the most delicious and recognizable Spanish dishes. However, if you’re ready to take your dining experience to the next level, you don’t need to settle just with one dish! Indeed, as one of the most experienced local chefs, Chef Andres can create numerous masterpiece dishes across a wide variety of recipes, providing an exquisite Spanish gastronomic experience.

So, if you’re feeling like something a little different, or if you’ve always dreamed of delighting yourself in some Typical Andalusian Tapas Menu before the main event, give Chef Andres a shout. He can prepare any dish to help make your evening that little bit extra-special; why limit yourself when you could enjoy every part of an authentic Spanish experience with some of the very finest local ingredients. We also offer a Full Spanish Experience Menu, wich includes Paella, tapas and the famous Sangria.

FAQs about Spanish Paella at Home

A full range. Our chef can make the original paella valenciana, with chicken, rabbit and local beans; a seafood paella rich with prawns, mussels and squid; a mixed paella combining meat and seafood; the striking jet-black arroz negro made with squid ink; arroz a banda; and even a fideuà, made with short noodles instead of rice. If you have a favourite, just tell us and we’ll prepare it to suit your taste.
Authenticity is in the detail. We use proper short-grain rice such as bomba, a slow, carefully made sofrito and real saffron, and we cook it to develop the socarrat — the prized caramelised layer at the base of the pan. Too many tourist-facing restaurants cut corners or reheat pre-made rice; our chef prepares yours fresh from scratch, so you taste paella exactly as it should be.
Yes — and it’s part of the fun. There’s real theatre in watching a paella come together: the sizzle of the sofrito, the aroma of saffron, the rice settling into the wide pan. Your chef cooks it in front of you, so the dish becomes a centrepiece and a talking point as well as a wonderful meal.
We bring everything needed, including the wide paella pan (the paellera) and the gas ring to cook it on, so you don’t need any special equipment. The paella can be cooked outdoors on a terrace or by the pool, or indoors where suitable. Just let us know your space and we’ll plan accordingly.
Paella is wonderfully sociable and scales beautifully, from an intimate dinner for two to a generous spread for a large gathering. We’ll judge the pan size and quantities to your numbers so there’s plenty for everyone. For very large parties and events, we also offer a dedicated giant-paella service.
Of course. A vegetable paella, full of seasonal produce, is every bit as delicious as the classic, and we can prepare vegan versions too. If anyone has a shellfish allergy or another dietary need, we’ll simply adapt the recipe so everyone at the table can enjoy it. Just share the requirements when you book.
Either way. Paella makes a marvellous centrepiece on its own, but it also sits beautifully within a fuller Spanish experience — perhaps a selection of tapas to start and a traditional dessert to finish. Tell us how you’d like the meal to flow and we’ll build the menu around the paella.
It’s one of the most festive dishes there is. A freshly cooked paella brings people together around the table and works perfectly for birthdays, family get-togethers and relaxed parties with friends. We handle the shopping, the cooking and the clearing up, so you can enjoy the celebration as a guest in your own home.
