Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. 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.

How much does corporate paella catering cost in Eel Pie Island?

How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.

Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
