Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Choose pan-side or table service
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
The pans are frequently set up where guests can see them, which makes a lovely backdrop for photos.
Add sangria, or bar staff to serve your own drinks.
Live paella or other catering?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and feels more relaxed. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
