Prices and what affects them

Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:

  • The length of service
  • Travel, parking and access
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert

There is 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 to tell us

To check availability and price, we need:

  • Which courses you have in mind
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
  • Your date and when you want to eat

Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Questions from Chapel Row

Is Chapel Row close to London?

About 47 miles from central London.

Do you cater in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.

What do you need at the venue?

A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.

How soon do we need to book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.

Can you invoice the company?

Let us know your company’s process, and we will explain how we work.

What happens if it rains?

A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.

How much paella per person?

Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.

Is it really cooked live?

Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

A plated meal needs a kitchen and a big team. Paella just needs a suitable spot. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.

Why us?

  • Events in Chapel Row and across West Berkshire
  • Hot food served quickly from the pan
  • Drinks service on request

How the day works

When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. In Chapel Row, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.

  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 clear our area and leave it clean.

Preparing for the day

  • Make sure we can park close by to unload
  • Name one person we can ask on the day
  • Share the running order, including any speeches

Planning help

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

  • Cooked live in giant pans at your event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
  • Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
  • Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
