Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

FAQs for Blackness
Is Blackness too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Blackness from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London.
What about pudding?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you work in winter?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
