Planning help
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

How we price corporate paella catering
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether you need crockery
- Distance and access to the venue
- Guest numbers
- The length of service
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food vans can create long queues. Paella is served fast from the pan. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.
What you get with us
- Real theatre, not just catering
- A clear, itemised quote
