Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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 for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
What’s in the pans
Paella lunches
Paella is a quick, hot lunch for a crowd.
Canapé tapas
One-bite tapas served by staff.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
As a London location, South Woodford is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
