Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.

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.

About our corporate paella catering in Little Atherfield

Food at work events can easily exclude people. Separate pans for meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan paella mean everyone eats together. We’re frequently asked to cater product launches and open days and office lunches and away days, with vegan and vegetarian paella, paella lunches and bowl food.

Team away days in the countryside around Little Atherfield suit live paella: no kitchen needed, just level ground and access. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Working with your venue

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

Organising a club, school or community event in Little Atherfield? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.

The process

Here’s how the day generally runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. In Little Atherfield, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:05pm, we need lighting.

  1. Tell us the date, venue, headcount and timings.
  2. We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
  3. Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
  4. We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
  5. We clear our area and leave it clean.

Preparing for the day

  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
  • Give us your final numbers and diets

Do you cover Little Atherfield?

We do. Little Atherfield is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
