Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Space, weather and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Facilities approval and any site rules
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
