Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

What we need at the venue

The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:

  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
  • Approval from your facilities team or building manager
  • Level ground for the pans and burners

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.

Catering for every guest

Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:

  • Collect dietary needs when people sign up
  • Tell us how long the food break is
  • Ask facilities what documents they need from us
  • Check the building or venue allows live cooking

We keep the cooking area tidy and contained.

Our caterer checklist

Organising for someone else?

Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.

How we price corporate paella catering

Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

  • How many guests are eating
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
  • Plates, cutlery and glassware

The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

What to tell us

Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:

  • Your date and when you want to eat
  • Where the event is
  • Which courses you have in mind
  • A picture of the space, if you can

The process

Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving.

  2. You get a menu, a price and documents.
  3. We agree access and set-up with facilities.
  4. We cook live and serve on schedule.
