Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Live paella or other catering?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Larger events typically cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. After-work summer parties in Herne Common have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- The paella cooks in front of your team and is served at the agreed time.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Have a level space ready for the pans
