Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- How long we are needed on site
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- How many courses
- Guest numbers
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
- Ask what the venue requires from caterers

The space is left clean and tidy.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Live paella or other catering?
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella is an event in itself. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before booking.
