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

Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

- 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.
