Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Live paella or other catering?
If you’re weighing up paella against a traditional menu, consider your venue, diets and the style you want. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
