DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. 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.
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.
Where we can cook in Poyle
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.
What we offer
- Evening paella
- Paella wedding breakfast
- Dessert
- Canapé tapas
- Table tapas
- Sangria & bar staff
Step by step
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. Golden-hour photos in Poyle at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- We check availability for your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
How to prepare
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
