For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Mockbeggar? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell typically draws people over. December events in Mockbeggar are in the dark from about 4:05pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- 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.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
