Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
What we offer
- Bowl food
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
