Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. Sunset in Bradwell is around 9:30pm in June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
- Tell us the date, venue and numbers.
- We suggest a selection and a quote.
- We set up and finish the hot dishes.
- Canapés go round or tapas go to the tables.
- We pack down when service ends.
How to prepare
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

Common questions in Bradwell
Is Bradwell close to London?
Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. See all areas.
How much tapas do we need?
We plan quantities around your timings and courses. Tell us more for a suggestion.
Can you do sangria?
We can add sangria and bar staff.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Occasions we cook for in Bradwell
They’re ideal when a full meal doesn’t fit.
Live paella suits almost any gathering. People in Bradwell book us for events such as:
- Office parties and launches
- Birthday drinks
- Engagement celebrations
- Tapas and paella menus
Canapé tapas suit the drinks after a ceremony at a church like Church of St Mary.
Questions to ask before you book
- How bad weather is handled
- Space, access and power needs
- Whether crockery, cutlery and napkins are included
- Exactly what’s included in the price
How we price tapas catering
We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Your choice of paellas
- How long we’re needed on site
- How many courses
There’s 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.
Getting an accurate quote

- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Which courses you have in mind
To get a price, fill in our quote form. Tell us about your event in Bradwell, and we’ll put together a menu and price.

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
