Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Get facilities approval early
Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls.
Crockery and staff can be added.
Where we can cook in East End of London
