Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.

How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.

Of course. Children typically love a plain chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
