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.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. Evening events in Westmarsh have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
