One of the cardinal rules of a party is “Always have more than enough food for everyone,” a rule superseded only by “Never mix alcohol with access to a particle accelerator.” Secure sustenance for all revelers with today’s Groupon for catering from Paella Time. Choose between the following options:

• For $855, you get a catered paella meal for 20 people (a $1,900 value).
• For $1,520, you get a catered paella meal for 40 people (a $3,800 value).<p>

Both paella meals include the following: * A choice of two tapas for the group * Two glasses of sangria per person * A choice of paella * Silverware, plates, glasses, and napkins for every guest * An onsite chef cooking live before you and your guests * Waiter service<p>

Travel outside the San Francisco Bay Area will incur an extra fee. Additional diners may be added to the packages for $42.75 per person.

While Paella Time’s chefs enliven fetes with live cooking sessions and vibrant Spanish fare, a friendly wait staff attend to the practical details so hosts can skip the prep and join the party. Before the meal, servers circulate with bottles of sangria, a blend of wine and fruit as sweet as seasonal corn on a first date. Hosts select paella from the menu, including the popular mixed paella with chicken, sausage, and shrimp, or meat paella, which eschews seafood. Vegetarian paella showcases asparagus, artichokes, and peppers tossed throughout saffron-spiked rice. Festive platters of tapas transport diners to the sunny patios and tilting windmills of Spain, with shareable selections such as piquillo peppers stuffed with herbed goat cheese and portobello mushrooms accessorized with chorizo. The all-inclusive catering service provides partygoers with tableware, including plates, glasses, napkins, and matador costumes for every guest.
