Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
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. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

What festival paella catering costs

- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Your choice of paellas
- Plates, cutlery and glassware

For event organisers in Streatham Park
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

The process
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. Summer events in Streatham Park have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
