Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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 for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
What affects the price in Newell Green
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Guest numbers
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert

Your questions about tapas catering in Newell Green
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Michael and All Angels: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Newell Green close to London?
About 28 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Is tapas catering available separately?
Absolutely.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
How the day works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell usually draws people over. Evening receptions in Newell Green stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, which suits an outdoor reception.
