Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Compared with formal catering, live paella is relaxed and sociable, but with the right extras it feels just as special. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
Why us?
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- We cover Clay Hill and the whole of Greater London
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests

Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Clay Hill? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
Guests can queue at the pans, or staff can serve the tables, whichever suits your day.
Sangria and bar staff can be added.
The process
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. In Clay Hill, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
