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 for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
What we need at the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
