Frequently asked questions
A 60-centimetre paella pan serves around 20 to 25 people. For larger groups, several pans are used in parallel or large-format industrial pans are brought. The professional will calculate the number and size of pans based on the confirmed number of guests.

Cooking paella with wood over an open flame is not recommended in enclosed spaces. The professional will assess the space before confirming the service.
The cook usually arrives 1.5 to 2 hours before the serving time to set up the pan stand, light the fire and prepare the sofrito. The exact time depends on the number of pans and the type of fuel used.
