Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.
