Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Your choice of paellas
- Waiting and bar staff
- How many courses
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The courses you’d like
- What the venue already provides
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will suggest a menu. To start, send us your details through our quote form.

Summer parties, lunches, team days and client events are all on our list. Whether it’s end-of-year celebrations and company summer parties, we can cook Spanish desserts, bowl food and paella lunches and more.
For rural venues near Hightown, live paella brings a hot meal to wherever the team is. Let us know about access and parking. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

FAQs for Hightown
Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Hightown?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving. For a Christmas party in Hightown, it is dark by about 4:05pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
- Think about shade and seating
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Ask staff about diets in advance
If timings change on the day, tell us and we’ll adapt.
Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.
Live paella or other catering?
Sandwiches are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
