Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

Summer events in Hungerford Green have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
