Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. 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.
Dishes our guests love
Chicken & chorizo paella
A crowd-pleaser for meat eaters.
Giant paella pans
A pan the size of a cartwheel, full of saffron rice.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Pitch space for cooking and serving
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
