Planning an event in Sherington?
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. 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.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Tapas catering for your event in Sherington
Many classic tapas are naturally vegetarian, like tortilla and padrón peppers, and some can be gluten-free. We’re frequently asked to cater receptions and drinks parties and engagement drinks, serving albóndigas, Manchego with membrillo and gambas al ajillo.
For a country party near Sherington, tapas and sangria set the mood. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.
