- Confirm live cooking with facilities
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol

Before you choose a spot

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Can I cook paella for a crowd 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. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
