Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Questions from Ellen's Green
Do you come out to small places like Ellen's Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
How far is Ellen's Green from London?
About 30 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan for them.

Tell us about your event, and we’ll reply with our availability and what we need.
Do you need water?
We’ll confirm our needs once we know the pitch details.
Do you do crew catering?
Yes, timed to your schedule. Tell us numbers and timings.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
The process
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For an evening event in Ellen's Green, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
How to prepare
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Have a level space ready for the pans
