Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
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.

Remenham Hill questions
Could we have live paella in Mill Meadows?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Is Remenham Hill too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you bring crockery?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Send us the details, and we’ll reply with our availability and what we need.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan for them.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
