Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

How it works

From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your work event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. December events in Bentworth are in the dark from about 4:00pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.

  1. First, we check date and venue.
  2. You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
  3. We send any documents your venue needs.
  4. Your team watches the paella cook.
  5. It is served quickly, then we pack down.

How to prepare

  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
  • Tell us where to park and unload

Organising for someone else?

For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
