Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
What’s in the pans
Chicken & chorizo paella
Smoky, satisfying and popular with children, and a good choice for guests who don’t eat seafood.
Vegetable paella
Vegetarians get a real main course, and meat eaters often try it too.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Guest numbers
- How many staff you need
- The length of service
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- What the venue already provides
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Roughly how many adults and children
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
What happens on the day
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your party. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. A summer party in Bobbing stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
How to prepare

- Tell us when you want to eat
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
How to get a price

Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Have bins ready
When service is finished, we pack down quietly, leaving you to carry on celebrating.
We can bring plates, cutlery and staff.
