Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
What we need at the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
