Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Weighing up DIY against 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.

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Diets, allergies and planning

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Add a diet question to the sign-up form
  • Confirm live cooking with facilities
  • Ask what the venue requires from caterers
  • Plan shade and seating for outdoor events

If timings change on the day, tell us and we’ll adapt.

Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.

What happens on the day

Here’s how the day generally runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan at the agreed time. After-work summer parties in Mortimer West End have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

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

How to prepare

Why book with us

  • Starters and desserts to complete the menu
