Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
How it works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your work event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. After-work summer parties in Aston have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
How to prepare

For event organisers in Aston
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Your choice of paellas
- How many staff you need
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Travel, parking and access
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- The courses you’d like
- What the venue already provides
- Expected numbers
- Diets and allergies you know about
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
What you get with us
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Served hot, straight from the pan
See Our pricing Or The cost guide.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
