Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. 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.

We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests typically gather round to watch while it cooks. Evening receptions in Bush Hill stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, which suits an outdoor reception.
