Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.

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 for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Choosing a paella caterer

Diets, allergies and planning

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

  • Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
  • Ask what the venue requires from caterers
  • Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
  • Provide shade and seats outdoors

We arrive on time and follow your site rules, including sign-in and parking.

Sangria and bar staff for drinks you provide.

Step by step

When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. December events in Cogges are in the dark from about 3:55pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:30pm.

  1. We check the date and venue.
  2. You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
  3. We provide the paperwork.
  4. The paella cooks as your team gathers.
  5. Fast service, then we clear away.

Preparing for the day

  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area
  • Share the running order, including any speeches
  • Leave space around the cooking area
