DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Paella party catering for your party in Winchmore Hill
Most gardens can host a paella party, as long as there is a flat spot clear of fences and branches. Send us a photo if you are unsure. Typical bookings include christenings and naming days and leaving dos and retirements, with mixed paella, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella.
Most parties in Winchmore Hill are in back gardens, which in London can be compact. We need a level spot clear of fences and trees, and somewhere to park and unload. Send a picture of the garden. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.
