DIY paella versus live catering
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.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a space will not work. What matters most:
- Your trader pack and site rules
- A pitch away from tents and structures
- Vehicle access before and after the event
