Organising for someone else?

Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
