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 at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Planning the cooking area
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- Churros
- Tapas
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Paella Valenciana
- Seafood paella
- Mixed paella
- Vegetable paella
Is live paella right for your party?
Cooking yourself saves money but costs you the party. With live paella, you’re a guest too. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How many guests are eating
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- How long we are needed on site
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
