Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. 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.
Where we can cook in Upper Walthamstow
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
As a London location, Upper Walthamstow is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Paella compared with other options
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- A clear, itemised quote
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
