Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
How the day works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your party. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. A summer party in Snow Hill stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Give separate numbers for children
- Have cover ready for a shower
- Warn the neighbours
The cooking area stays tidy and safe, with space kept clear around the burners.
Churros with chocolate are a hit with children and adults.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
