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.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

Planning the cooking area
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
As a London location, Chinbrook is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

How it works
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. After-work summer parties in Chinbrook have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

- We cook live and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
