Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

The process

It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss. In Dial Post, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
  2. You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
  3. Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
  5. Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.

Getting ready for the day

  • Give us your final numbers and diets
  • Have a level space ready for the pans
  • Make sure we can park close by to unload

Common questions in Dial Post

Is Dial Post too small for live paella?

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

How far is Dial Post from London?

Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London.

Should we have more than one paella?

Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.

Can you do a team-building activity?

Mention it in your enquiry, and we will see what works.

Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?

That is one of paella’s strengths. Tell us how long the break is and we will plan service around it.

Can you invoice the company?

Let us know your company’s process, and we’ll explain how we work.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.

Do you do Christmas parties?

We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. Hot paella in winter is popular.
