Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

How it works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh. In Peacehaven, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Preparing for the day
