Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
What’s in the pans
Canapé tapas
Bite-sized tapas carried round by staff.
Vegan and vegetarian pans
Separate pans with plant-based stock, so everyone eats well.
Working with your venue

For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Space, weather and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
