Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls.
Bar staff and sangria on request.
Planning the cooking area
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls

The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. For a Christmas party in Bossingham, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Ensure we can park close by to unload

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
