DIY paella versus live catering

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.

The process

Here’s how the day usually runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. For a Christmas party in Bunkers Hill, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:30pm.

  1. Send us the date, venue, numbers and timings.
  2. You get a menu, a price and documents.
  3. Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
  4. We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Name one person we can ask on the day
  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day
  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area

Planning help

Organising for someone else?

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

Diets, allergies and planning

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:

  • Ensure there are plenty of soft drinks
  • Tell us how long the food break is
  • Find out what paperwork the venue needs
  • Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies

We arrive on time and follow your site rules.

Canapé tapas for receptions and launches.

Planning the cooking area

The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:

  • Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
  • Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
  • Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

  • Served hot, straight from the pan
  • Starters and desserts to complete the menu

Prices and what affects them

Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:

  • The paellas you choose
  • How many staff you need
  • Distance and access to the venue
  • Whether you need crockery

Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.

What to tell us

You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:

  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Where the event is

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, use our quote form.
