Choosing a paella caterer

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

What we need at the venue

Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • The venue’s permission for live cooking
  • Parking close enough to carry equipment
  • A picture of the garden helps us check the space

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Menu ideas

  • Mixed paella
  • Paella Valenciana
  • Seafood paella
  • Tapas
  • Vegetable paella
  • Churros
  • Chicken & chorizo paella

Catering for every guest

Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
  • Give separate numbers for children
  • Plan a covered spot for wet weather
  • Add a diet question to the invitation

Children love watching the paella cook, at a safe distance.

Churros and chocolate go down well with all ages.
