Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Step by step
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. Summer events in Whiteleaf have daylight until about 9:25pm 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.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Make sure we can park close by to unload

Paella compared with other options
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
