Based out of Whatcom County, Washington, Paellaworks has been providing custom menus for catering, event consult and planning since 2003.
Thank you for your interest in Paellaworks! Listed below is an introduction to the services we offer.
Paellaworks provides an interactive experience with a customized catering package prepared on site at your event.
We do require flat and level ground for Paella preparations. We are able to set up in your yard, garage, porches/decks, at trail heads or the most elegant of venues anywhere in the country. We are completely self-sufficient and mobile.
We charge a travel fee for time, fuel and accommodations, when applicable for events outside of Whatcom and Skagit counties.
Our minimum guest count is 25 for services and all menu items are offered at a minimum of 10 portions, after which an increment of 1 additional portion is ok unless otherwise noted.
Paella and Cascadia Boils take approximately two hours to prepare after initial site setup. We typically plan to be on site 2.5 to 3 hours before service is scheduled to occur. Additional itineraries may affect this schedule.
The Initial Quote and Deposit of Intent invoice is based on highest expected guest count, and most often an equal split between potential paella or entree items. Clients then will need to solicit and provide guest choice 1 week prior to the event or choose the Paella/Entree Bar option where we prepare 75% of guest count of each offering to allow for on the spot decision making.
The majority of our Tapas are not subject to this rule and can be ordered in less specific allotments starting at 10 portions. We advise that an assortment of 2-6 Tapas is generally appropriate for Cocktail Hours or Parties depending on your event size and details.
We do not offer rental service directly but can work with you or your event coordinator on appropriate rental(s) and rental companies for your event.
We do offer biodegradable products for your event at cost.
Paella and Cascadia Seafood Boil packages include a locally sourced organic field green dressed and garnished with fresh berries, blue cheese and accompanied by Doughs Bakery baguettes, or Breadfarm olive baguettes.
Menu Prices listed are per person.

Paella means pan in both Spanish & Catalan, and it is this pan, wide and shallow, that allows for the caramelized flavors of garlic, onion, tomato, and fresh rosemary sofrito to meld.Valencian rice, (arroz) is then added and slowly simmered in handmade citrus saffron stock. The arroz is then garnished with appropriate ingredients for the type of arroz being made. A wide array of seafood, meat, game and poultry as well as charcuterie is available, complimented by fresh seasonal vegetables, which are then steamed by the simmering rice and stock, creating a medley of flavor and texture greater than the sum of its parts.
WHERE AND HOW IS ARROZ COOKED?
Arroz & Paella was traditionally cooked over open fire, but due to the reality of urban settings, the use of propane fueled paella burners is utilized for most events, allowing the paella to be cooked on/in your veranda, carport, front yard, or any other feasible indoor/outdoor location. We will gladly build a grapewood fire in your front yard or office parking lot though!
HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN PAELLA FEED?
Private/Corporate Paella catering packages start at a minimum of twenty five guests.
Arroz is available in vegetarian and vegan options, and can be tailored to most food allergy specific situations.
Please see Menu and Booking tab for Introductions to our service and menu pricing.
