Should I cook it myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
About our festival paella catering in Stockcross
Paella eats well from a bowl with a fork, on the move or on a picnic rug. Typical bookings include summer fairs and fêtes and community events and open days, with vegan paella, seafood paella and churros.
At a field event near Stockcross, power and water may be limited; let us know and we will plan for it. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.
