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.

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Occasions we cook for in Netherton

One trader, many diets, which saves pitches.

Whatever the occasion, live paella can be the centrepiece. We often cook for:

  • Music and food festivals
  • Charity and school events
  • Summer fairs and fêtes
  • Seasonal markets

School fairs, for a school like John Blandy Primary School, are a natural fit for a paella stall.

How to compare caterers

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. A giant pan cooking in view sells itself. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Dietary needs and planning tips

Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
  • Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
  • Plan seating near the food area
  • Send traders one clear trader pack

Allergen information is available at the stall.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

  • The number of people
  • Starters, canapés and desserts
  • Plates, cutlery and glassware
  • How many staff you need

The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

What we need to know

To speed things up, tell us:

  • Your date and when you want to eat
  • The venue or postcode
  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff

Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send a clear, itemised quote.

For event organisers in Netherton

For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.

How the day works

From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. At midsummer, events in Netherton stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.

  1. Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
  2. You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
  3. Paperwork goes over in good time.
  4. On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
  5. At close, we pack down and tidy up.

Before we arrive

  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
  • Plan cover in case of rain
