Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

What happens on the day
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. For a summer wedding in High Wycombe, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- We check availability for your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
