Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
The space is left clean and tidy.
Canapés for drinks receptions.
