Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Parking and unloading
- Timings and hours
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- The paellas you choose
Larger events usually cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Your date and when you want to eat
- The address or venue name

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Crowhurst questions
How far is Crowhurst from London?
About 50 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Can you cook at our office?
Courtyards and terraces frequently work, subject to the building’s rules.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
How it works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you are free to enjoy your work event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. For a Christmas party in Crowhurst, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.
