Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Is live paella right for your work event?
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella just needs a suitable spot. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Why book with us

Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Guest numbers
- Waiting and bar staff
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- How long we’re needed on site
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your work event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
- The date and rough timings
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
How the day works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. For a Christmas party in Haslemere, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
