What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell generally draws people over. For a Christmas party in Heckfield, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.

Planning help
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many staff you need
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Parking and unloading
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Your date and when you want to eat
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
What’s in the pans
Vegan and vegetarian pans
A proper vegetarian or vegan main, in its own pan.
Paella lunches
Two or three paellas served from the pan, quick to serve to a big team.
Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Get facilities approval early
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Let us know how long people have to eat
Service is timed to your schedule, whether that’s a lunch break or an evening party.
Churros or Spanish desserts to finish.
Live paella or other catering?
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella is served fast from the pan. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
