DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
How it works
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests normally gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. For an evening event in Churchill, sunset is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
