Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
How our paella party catering works in St George in the East
We cater parties at homes, village halls with outdoor space, clubs and hired venues. Popular choices include tapas, seafood paella and churros, and typical bookings are for retirement and leaving parties and celebrations of life.
In St George in the East, a back-garden party is the usual choice, even if the garden is small. A level spot away from fences and trees, plus parking nearby, is all we need. A photo of the garden helps. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it’s ready.
