DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
What affects the price in Grazeley
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- How long we are needed on site
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- The paellas you choose
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Is live paella right for your work event?
Buffet food sits out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What you get with us
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
