DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

Live paella or other catering?
A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
We arrive at the agreed time and follow your site rules, including sign-in and parking.
Crockery and staff can be added.
Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

FAQs for Well Head
Is Well Head too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Well Head for guests?
The closest is Adisham station, roughly 2 miles away.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Often, yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We will check with your facilities team.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
It is ideal for that. Share the timings and we will plan for them.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
How it works
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. After-work summer parties in Well Head have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
