What else we do in Blackfield
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Get facilities approval early
The space is left clean and tidy.
Bowl food for standing events.
Where we can cook in Blackfield
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
