Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
The process
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests typically gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. For a summer wedding in Priestwood Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- First, we check your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve, then pack down.
