Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
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.

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far in advance should we book?

We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
How many paellas should we have?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.

Normally, if there’s outdoor space to cook. Ask the venue about live cooking.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Let the neighbours know
- Have bins ready
- Make sure children stay back from the pans
- Have enough chairs for most guests
Kids are fascinated by the giant pans, from a safe distance.
We can bring plates, cutlery and staff.

We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests normally gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. A summer party in Camber stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.

- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
- It’s served from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
