Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Schedule crew meals
- Give traders a single information pack
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
We set up at the agreed time.
