For an evening event in Noel Park, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

What’s in the pans
Vegan paella
Vegan paella cooked separately.
Giant paella pans
It’s the huge pan people come to see.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
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.
