DIY paella versus live catering
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 for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Step by step
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. Summer events in Enfield Chase have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and documents.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- At the end, we clear our pitch.

FAQs for Enfield Chase
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Enfield Chase?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What about parking in Enfield Chase?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it is cooked separately.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
Yes. Vegan paella is cooked in its own pan.
Live paella or other catering?
Most street food is cooked one order at a time. Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, so queues move quickly. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
