Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ensure most guests can sit to eat
- Mention any other courses or food
- Ask about diets and allergies on your invitation or RSVP
The rice takes about 20 minutes once it goes in, so we time it carefully. If timings shift, we adapt.
Tapas or canapés make a good start as the rice cooks.
What’s in the pans
Seafood paella
A rich seafood stock with prawns, mussels and squid, cooked until the rice is golden. It is the pan people photograph.
Black rice
Squid ink rice is bold and savoury, and is popular with adventurous guests.

Brentham Garden Suburb: your questions answered
Could we have live paella in Castle Bar Park?

Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
