Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Put out bins for general waste and recycling
- Count adults and children separately
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Make sure children stay back from the pans
If you’ve booked staff, they’ll help serve and clear so you can relax.
Add bread, salad and lemon.
How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. A summer party in Filmore Hill stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- We set up the burners and start the sofrito.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It’s served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Check the venue allows live cooking
Ask for a quote
