Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. 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.

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Step by step

Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh. Evening events in High Cogges have light until about 9:30pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.

  1. We check your dates.
  2. We agree what we will serve and where.
  3. Burners and pans go up.
  4. Pans are cooking as gates open.
  5. We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.

Before we arrive

  • Share the running order, including any speeches
  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area
  • Get the venue’s permission for cooking
