Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Where we can cook in Duns Tew
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:
- A pitch big enough for the pans, burners and serving table
- The event’s site rules and timings
- A level pitch on firm ground
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before booking.
What we offer
- Vegan paella
- Giant paella pans
- Seafood paella
- Churros
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Tapas
How it works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. For an evening event in Duns Tew, sunset is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Give us a contact for the day
