What affects the price in Gravesend
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- The paellas you choose
- How many courses
- The number of people
- Whether you need crockery
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The date and time of the event
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella is served fast from the pan. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Facilities approval and any site rules
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

The process
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. After-work summer parties in Gravesend have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
