About the dishes
Paella lunches
A choice of paellas, quick to serve to a big team.
Vegan and vegetarian pans
Separate pans with plant-based stock, so everyone eats well.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
