Paella compared with other options
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.

Other catering in Friday Street
For event organisers in Friday Street
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Questions from Friday Street
Can you cook in Wotton and Abinger Commons?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Is Friday Street too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
How many paellas should we have?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Can we pay by invoice?
Let us know your company’s process, and we’ll explain how we work.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
