DIY paella versus live catering
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.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Marden station, about 3.4 miles north of the centre.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Mention it in your enquiry, and we’ll discuss what’s possible at your venue.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
Yes. Paella is served straight from the pan, and we plan pans and serving points around your timings.
Can you invoice the company?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.
