Catering for every guest
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Count day and evening guests separately

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. At midsummer, sunset in Stone Corner is about 9:15pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:45pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
