Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Space, weather and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Parking near the venue
- Room for a tapas table
- An area to prepare hot tapas
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.
