Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is 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 be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Include any suppliers you’re feeding
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
After service, we pack down our cooking area; staff you’ve booked stay as agreed.
