Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.

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.

Diets, allergies and planning

A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:

  • Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
  • Ask staff about diets in advance
  • Find out what paperwork the venue needs
  • Give us diet totals and allergy details

We adapt if timings change.

  1. We check the date and venue.
  2. You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
  3. We provide the paperwork.
  4. The paella cooks as your team gathers.
  5. It’s served quickly, then we pack down.

Before we arrive

  • Name one person we can ask on the day
  • Share the running order, including any speeches
  • Make sure we can park close by to unload
